Welcoming Spaces are now open in your community to help with the cost-of-living crisis

A Welcoming Space is a place where people can meet up, socialise, and access support, relating to the cost-of-living crisis.

Services available at each Welcoming Space will vary but may include:

  • A place to stay warm
  • community activities such as community meals, film nights and homework clubs
  • access to computers, free Wi-Fi and charging points
  • Access to support about money, welfare, and mental wellbeing

A network of Welcoming Spaces run by various organisations across Bristol is running over the autumn and winter 2022 to 2023.

Below are just some of the Welcoming Spaces currently operating at the launch in October 2022.  For up-to-date details of all spaces across the whole of Bristol including opening hours please refer to the Bristol City Council website.  Cost of living support (bristol.gov.uk)
