... ABERDEENSHIRE WARM SPACES<br />

Warm Spaces map at<br />

We launched this project in early November to<br />

capture all the ‘warm spaces’ springing up<br />

across Aberdeenshire. These spaces were mostly<br />

community areas which were already warm and lit but<br />

perhaps being underutilised. We are currently working with<br />

74 ‘warm spaces’ across Aberdeenshire.<br />

ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2022</strong><br />

This project continues to grow and our interactive map plots<br />

where and when they are happening - including opening<br />

hours and what is being offered eg. free Wi-Fi, warm soup,<br />

and hot drinks. Many of these ‘warm spaces’ are doubling<br />

up with food pantries and other related services providing<br />

a one-stop-shop for some communities. Most managed to<br />

maintain some level of service over the festive period and<br />

are committed to running until the end of March 2023, when<br />

hopefully the weather will have improved.
