Winter Welcome
Lewisham Council has put together an initiative to help families with the price of heating your home and cost of living by having Community groups across the borough coming together to offer spaces where people can pop in free of charge.
All welcomes are currently different, some may be providing hot drinks, others may be providing hot food, others may be providing social activities and additional support.
Check the Warm Welcomes map here and a complete list of all organisation participating.
