Find a Warm Welcome near you
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.
In essence, a Warm Welcome space is a physical space run by a community group, charity, organisation, or business, where people can come to:
- Warm up
- Get a hot drink for free
- Get energy advice and debt support
- Enjoy some social interaction
- In some settings also benefit from additional services such as free meals & activities
For further cost of living information and support, please visit our Health and Welfare 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.
