Setting up a warm space in your community. Local communities have stepped up in many ways to support their neighbours through the cost of living crisis. This includes groups with spaces, or those who are able to provide
furnishings, activities, advice and support.
Welcoming people into your space is vital to ensuring that those who need it most feel able
to use your space. The Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (Cilip) has created a helpful guide to help you set up a warm space for your community. Read the guide here.

Britain is facing its biggest cost of living crisis in decades. Citizens Advice has seen more people coming to us for help with crisis support, energy problems and not having enough money to make ends meet than ever before. In this dashboard we share insights from across our service on how the crisis is affecting the people we help.
The rising cost of living is putting extra strain on individuals, communities and the causes that support them. The need is greater than ever, and funding isn’t stretching as far. Many organisations are working tirelessly to meet this challenge, but they need help to keep their doors open.
With our additional £2 million Cost of Living Boost, the Aviva Community Fund will bring people together to support those who need it most. We’ll match every individual donation up to £250*
