As it's more expensive to heat your home this winter, there are 'warm spaces' throughout North Herts and Hertfordshire to help people stay warm. Find your nearest space below.
Please check any specific details direct with the organisation before you set off as we cannot accept any responsibility for third party information or actions.
Hertfordshire County Council's Warm Herts - Warm Spaces also lists places that people can use to stay warm this winter.
If you are struggling this winter, visit our cost of living - easing the squeeze page for help and advice.
Tell us about a warm space
If you manage a venue in North Herts where residents can go to stay warm this winter, you can tell us about it and we will add it to this list.
Hertfordshire County Council have guidance on important things to consider if you are running a warm space, such as food safety, safeguarding and infection control.
