Grants available to groups offering support during cost of living crisis
Community groups and organisations providing warm spaces for residents this winter are being supported with grants by the City Council.
Warm Spaces Grants of up to £500 are now available for organisations to apply for on the Council’s website.
The grant will help with the additional costs community groups will face this winter.
Warm spaces provide residents with somewhere to keep warm, enjoy company and access support if they are struggling to cope with the cost of living.
Among the organisations already helping residents is Exeter Quakers, which is working in partnership with other groups in Exeter and the Warm Welcome network nationally to respond to the cost of living crisis.

Time to celebrate a spectacular and explosive time of year in Exeter
It’s that time of year again when people wrap up warm, gather friends and loved ones and admire the spectacular bursts of light across the sky.
There’s plenty of show-stopping bonfire night events and fireworks displays in and around Exeter. And it promises to be explosive fun.
Our friends at Visit Exeter have compiled a list of the biggest and best organised events taking place around the city.

The RSAPCA has issued advice for pet owners ahead of firework season.
Their top tips to settle dogs that may be disturbed by the noise when fireworks start are:
- Walk your dog during daylight hours to avoid times when fireworks are likely to be set off
- Move your dog to the safe haven each evening before the fireworks begin. Provide toys and other things that they enjoy in the safe haven
- Make sure there are things for you to do too, so your dog isn't left alone
- Close windows and curtains to muffle the sound of fireworks. Blackout your doggy safe haven, so they can't see any flashes outside
- Put on some music or TV to mask the firework sounds
- Ignore the firework noises yourself. Play with a toy to see if your dog wants to join in, but don't force them to play
