Public buildings will be opened up across Northumberland this winter to provide "warm spaces" for residents who may be struggling to pay their energy bills ahead of further price rises.
Northumberland County Council has announced the likes of leisure centres and libraries will be opened to create a network to support communities this winter.
The council has teamed up with partners in the community and voluntary sector and is also inviting more organisations to sign up to what is being called the Northumberland Warm Spaces and Places Promise.
