Welcoming Spaces
A Welcoming Space is a place of connection already established in the community (such as a community centre, children's centre or place of faith), where people can meet up, socialise, keep warm and access support, relating to the cost of living.
The Welcoming Spaces network was set up in October 2022 to support residents over the autumn and winter. However, many of the spaces (including ours!) are continuing to operate and are ready to give you a warm welcome.
Here at RCG, we offer a free community lunch every Tuesday (12-1:30pm) where attendees can get a delicious, two-course hot meal, no questions asked. Please see poster below for more information and how to book.
This project is currently funded by the Climate and Disability Strand of the Community Climate Action Project, co-ordinated by the Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership, in turn funded by the National Lottery's Climate Action Fund. Many thanks to our previous funders for their amazing support: we couldn't have done this without you!
