Lewes District Council has committed £50,000 to helping local groups set up and run warm spaces during the winter months.
A total of 12 grants have been awarded to the following locations:
- St Peter's Church in East Blatchington
- Friends of Bishopstone Station CIC
- Peacehaven Town Council, Chailey Free Church
- Kempton House Day Centre
- Kings Church
- Sussex Community Development Association
- Seaford Baptist Church
- Fitzjohns Foodbank
- Newhaven Baptist Church,
- Lewes House of Friendship
- Christ Church Lewes.
In addition to warm spaces, applications for the funding were also encouraged to address food resilience, advice — including debt and welfare, digital exclusion and green energy.
Cllr Zoe Nicholson (pictured below), Deputy Leader of Lewes District Council, said:
“When it became clear that the UK was heading into a cost of living crisis, we moved very quickly to put a safety net of measures in place that directly help local people who are in most need.
“Knowing so many of our residents will be worrying about how to pay their heating bills, this latest funding will create welcoming warm spaces across the district that anyone can visit.”
