All of Cardiff's hubs and libraries will be providing 'warm, welcome spaces' from next week as the council looks to tackle the cost of living crisis. From Monday, October 10, you'll be able to visit your local library or one of the rebranded 'hubs' for a free hot drink and to take advantage of the heating without having to worry about the cost of switching it on at home.
The warm spaces will also serve as a chance to have a chat with staff about the other support services the hub can provide. They'll all be open in the hubs and libraries' normal opening hours.
Councillor Lynda Thorne, cabinet member for housing and communities, said: "Warm welcome spaces are just part of a package of support we are working on for residents to combat the cost of living pressures affecting everyone right now. Our hubs and libraries are thriving community spaces with lots on offer so we want to encourage anyone struggling to heat their home to pop in and enjoy the warm welcome. It will be a chance to meet other people in the community, read the paper or pick up a book from the library, or to take part in some of the many varied activities our hubs and libraries host regularly throughout the week."
