Warm, Welcoming Spaces
Warm, welcoming spaces have been set up in some of Orrell and Up Holland''s libraries and churches. These are safe places you can visit to stay warm and see a friendly face, free of charge and without judgement. Each of them are slightly different in what they offer, but you’ll always be met with warmth, kindness and a friendly welcome.
See below for details of some of the "Warm Spaces" in Orrell and Up Holland:
