The Warm Welcome Campaign

Across the UK, 14.4 million people live in poverty, and 7% of the population experience chronic loneliness. Loneliness is one of the most prevalent crises of our times. Founded in 2022, the Warm Welcome Campaign wants to turn the tide on loneliness and poverty by connecting communities and giving people a place of belonging in a Warm Welcome Space close to home. 

We resource, connect, and champion a network of over 6,000 Warm Welcome Spaces and bring together a growing coalition of local, regional, and national partners representing the worlds of charity, faith, business, government, and philanthropy. 

We have a bold ambition to enable a more deeply connected society where we all have free access to welcoming community spaces. By working together, we can unlock the power of community spaces made by and for everyone, creating a thriving network of hope and reconnection fuelled by human warmth.
