Warm Banks
Heated Community Space For All
Warm banks are places where people can go for free heating if they cannot afford to turn on their home’s heating this winter. Zimbabwe Newport Volunteering Association has organised a warm bank to assist people of ethnic minority backgrounds who are struggling with rising energy costs. Beneficiaries will be able to get information, advice, and assistance on the cost of living crisis, as well as be directed to and/or referred to other agencies for assistance.
