Warm spaces fund increased

8 December 2022

We've increased the amount available to charities, community and voluntary groups to set up warm spaces across Derbyshire this winter.

An extra £100,000 has been put in to the fund which supports organisations that already run – or would like to set up – a warm, safe refuge for people struggling to heat their homes.

Please encourage anyone that you know or work with to apply for a grant of up to £1,000 to offer a free space with somewhere to sit down and get warm and perhaps provide refreshments and activities.

The grant can be used towards running costs, energy bills or providing refreshments and activities.
