Warm spaces in Camden

'Warm welcome’ spaces are available across Camden. You'll find them in libraries, children's centres and other community buildings across the borough. 

Each 'warm welcome' space offers something a little different. But wherever you visit, you'll find a warm, friendly and safe place to work and relax. You can also join free or low-cost activities and get help or support with the cost of living. Everyone is welcome.
