Residents to benefit from Warm Spaces across Torbay this winter

Eight community venues will offer 22 sessions per week throughout Torquay, Paignton and Brixham, ensuring that everyone has a place they can go to stay warm.


Torbay Council is using money from the Household Support Fund to pay for the spaces, which will be delivered by Torbay Communities and community and voluntary sector organisations.


Warm Space sessions will be between two and five-and-a-half hours and will also offer socialising, food, and support, including how to apply for pension credit.
