Following a successful pilot scheme last year, Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council are once again running the Warm Hub Scheme to help keep residents connected, warm and safe during the winter months.
The Warm Hub Scheme will run in Portadown Town Hall, the Tommy Makem Arts & Community Centre, Keady and the Old Town Hall, Banbridge. Open to everyone, the hubs offer the chance for local residents to drop in and enjoy a hot drink, have a chat, connect to Wi-Fi or read the paper in a warm and safe environment.
“We are delighted to be able to offer these Warm Hubs to our local residents throughout the dark and cold winter months, as we know that this time of year can feel lonely for some,” commented the Lord Mayor, Alderman Margaret Tinsley.
“As the cost of living crisis also continues and residents are facing spiralling costs in all areas of life, these Hubs offer a warm and safe place for people who need that extra bit of help, support and respite from everyday pressures.”
