Grants to set up warm spaces

warm spaces grants

Voluntary, community and charity organisations in Derbyshire can apply for a grant to set up warm spaces this winter.

Derbyshire County Council has launched a £50,000 Warm Spaces Fund to support organisations to provide a warm refuge for residents and their families who may be struggling to heat their homes.

A Derbyshire Warm Space will be a free, warm, and welcoming space for people across Derbyshire who are struggling to heat their homes this winter.

It can be a charity, community venue, council building, in the NHS, a café or other hospitality venue that commits to Derbyshire’s Warm Space Pledges.

Organisations can apply for up to £1,000 towards the cost of opening up community venues or to extend their opening hours during the colder months.

If you would like to apply for a warm spaces grant please email grants@derbyshire.gov.uk for an application form.
