As the cost of living crisis continues, the Old Fire Station community centre on Mayton Street is opening its doors again to provide a warm and welcoming space for people in need of support.
Run by the Holloway Neighbourhood Group, a local charity which offers a wealth of advice and support and builds connections to empower people to lead fulfilled lives as part of their community, the warm space is open each Wednesday until the end of May from 12:30-3:30pm.
The warm space provides a relaxed place for local people to come together and enjoy a bowl of homemade soup and other refreshments, as well as board games and newspapers.
Each session is facilitated by a dedicated member of staff, signposting people to sources of support around issues such as income maximisation, employment, social activities, and physical and mental health services.
