Free film and breakfast to form part of Ingol and Tanterton's 'warm spaces' programme
Denise Hartley, chief executive officer of the Intact Centre, said that the aim was to offer people a wide choice of activities – and to make those attending any one of them aware of all the others that they might also enjoy or benefit from.
“In the warm spaces themselves, we’re going to have games, we’ll have the TV on if people want to watch the World Cup, for instance – and there’ll be board games and the like.Denise Hartley MBE wants to cross-promote activities so that locals know what is on offer on their own doorstep “But the main thing is that they are places where people can just come along, participate in loads of different things and get some free food and warmth.“It’s about doing what we can to support people – and, with the cost of living, it’s not just the vulnerable who need support, everybody does. And everybody is welcome – the Unite Community Partnership wants everyone to know that there are places you can come to,” said Denise.
The new warm spaces are being funded, in part, by contributions from the Cadent Gas network and Ingol and Tanterton Neighbourhood Council.Council chair Bruce Ellison said that the authority had been supporting “vital community centres for many years”.“But this year, we wanted to use some of our financial reserves to help people who will be hit hardest by the cost of living crisis,” he added.The new warm spaces will be open at the Intact Centre on Mondays between 3.30pm and 6.
The Intact Centre will host 12 hours of new warm space activities each week - in addition to the dozens of other things already happening in the community
