A Warm Welcome near you
The Warm Welcome scheme for winter 2026 to 2027 will reopen on 1 November, in community venues and libraries. These free spaces offer somewhere warm and welcoming to spend time, enjoy a hot drink and connect with others.
Everyone is always welcome in Surrey's 52 Libraries, find your nearest on the Surrey Libraries webpages.
Or find a community venue, activity or event on Connect to Support Surrey website
Background to the Warm Welcome scheme
Since 2022, Surrey County Council has worked with partners across the county to run our Warm Welcome scheme – these are local venues that residents can access for a free hot drink and other support services between November and March.
Find out from Councillor Mark Nuti and Merstham Community Facility Trust about the Warm Welcome programme and find support from the network in your area in our Warm Welcome Video.
For further cost of living information and support, please visit our Health, wellbeing and financial support page.
If you are unable to find the right help and support on these webpages you can speak with a member of our community helpline team. You can talk through your needs with them and they will help to point you in the right direction for financial, welfare or wellbeing support in Surrey.
