A warmer winter, together
Cold days don’t have to mean staying in. Our winter social events are back and bigger than ever, with free events, food, activities and friendly faces waiting for you at community spaces across your neighbourhood.
What to expect
We’re teaming up with local community organisations to bring you cooking clubs, craft sessions, wellbeing activities and much more throughout the winter.
Last year, you told us you’d like more choice of venues, so this year we’ve expanded to include even more local community spaces.
At every event, you can enjoy:
• A free hot drink or meal
• A free activity
• A friendly, welcoming space
• The chance to meet and connect with others
There’s no need to book. Just turn up and join us!
