You can find all the warm spaces in Neath Port Talbot using the new Warm Space directory.

Councillor Simon Knoyle, Neath Port Talbot Council’s Cabinet Member for Finance, Performance and Social Justice, said: “We know that the cost of heating a home is a huge concern for many people. We don’t want anyone to be struggling in the cold so we are encouraging people to come and use one of the Warm Spaces offered by the council or one of the community groups we are lucky to have throughout the county borough.

“I would also urge any local organisations who are already offering this type of service to their community to register as a Warm Spaces on our directory so that people who may not already know about the support can find them.”
