Hackney Warm Spaces

Safe, secure and warm places where people can spend time this winter while saving on their own heating costs are being made available across the borough thanks to extra support from Hackney Council. With huge strains being put on household budgets with the rising costs of electricity and heating, the warm spaces provide places people can go and meet others and enjoy a range of free activities while saving money on their own bills.
