Visit a warm space
Chesterfield Borough Council, along with the Chesterfield Health and Wellbeing Partnership and a range of local statutory and voluntary partner organisations, want to support our communities in keeping warm and in good health over the colder months.
If you or someone you know is vulnerable or facing fuel poverty, you can now visit a range of ‘warm spaces’ around Chesterfield where you can meet other people, in a free, warm and welcoming environment.
Many of the venues are offering refreshments, as well as a few other activities (depending on the venue) that you could join in with if you wanted too as well.
Each of the spaces are completely free to attend and everyone is welcome to drop in.
We have developed a google map that includes all of the key information you need to know about where the warm spaces are in our area.
All you have to do is click on the venues listed on the left of your screen and then you can find where they are exactly on the map (a small circle will appear on the screen around the venue), as well as confirming the address of the space and what is being offered.
Each venue is open at different times and on different days so please ensure you either check the map or contact the venue directly before visiting.
