For our #15thanniversary we want to highlight our partners @warmwelcomeuk.bsky.social

They began as a seasonal campaign supporting communities through the coldest time of the year bringing connection, friendship and human warmth to communities, helping people feel less isolated and lonely.

At #LCSeminar2025, @davidbarclay.bsky.social from Good Faith Partnership reminded us of the power of the @warmwelcomeuk.bsky.social map. Can #Libraries use the map to explore the power of partnership working with other organisations?

Thanks for sharing @closetotheedge.bsky.social We're delighted to hear that you are warm again and open to guests this Saturday. Great news to share in #WarmWelcomeWeek
@warmwelcomeuk.bsky.social We had to shut our Warm Spaces for a fortnight (and the church as a whole) because of having a new heating system installed. But we will be back open this Saturday as normal.
