Warm spaces in Arun

Warm Spaces are somewhere you can go to keep warm and enjoy some company. In some locations you will be able to get refreshments, take part in activities and access advice and information about local services.

We know that many people are feeling the pressure of increased heating costs and the cost of living. Our warm spaces network aims to support residents across the district.
