One of the ways Calderdale community is trying to help with the current cost of living crisis is by running Warm Spaces.
Warm Spaces are initiatives where a company, group or organisation open their centre to the residents of their community, offering a place for them to stay warm and where possible, have a warm drink, enjoy a chat, even engage in activities.
