West Northamptonshire Council’s Anti-Poverty Strategy sets out they will work with partners to support people struggling financially, what they will do to stop people falling into poverty and how they will work to get the best deal for the people of West Northants.

Warm Spaces Directory:

 West Northamptonshire Council are working with local partners in the voluntary and community sector to create a network of Warm Spaces, a group of non-judgemental, safe, and welcoming places where people in West Northamptonshire can come together to stay warm, and perhaps enjoy a hot meal or a cup of tea and a biscuit. They have created a directory of all the places available to their residents across the public, private, health and voluntary sectors so that anyone who is cold knows where they can go to stay warm and enjoy a little company and some hot refreshments this winter.  For further information please view here Looking for warm spaces | West Northamptonshire Council (westnorthants.gov.uk)

Warm Welcoming Spaces Grant Scheme:

 There is also a Warm Welcoming Spaces Grant scheme to support the creation and or development of Warm Welcoming Spaces across West Northamptonshire to support residents struggling with fuel costs.  These awards can be made to Community, Voluntary Organizations and Registered Charities.  Please note that the minimum amount of grant that can be applied for is £500. The maximum grant that can be applied for is £1,500: Please contact Deb.burns@westnorthants.gov.uk for more information or a copy of the guidance notes appertaining to this fund.
