Y'day, visited Hackney Libraries Central branch to discuss w/ The Independent our use of libraries as warm spaces & also our expansion of Kind Coats project this winter from 2 sites to 7. Really proud of work, but wish it wasn't necessary. Gd to hear it'll also be open on 28/29 December

As a winter warmer location. All seven of our staffed libraries are open welcoming warm spaces, you can find all our locations on warmwelcome.uk. We will be expanding provision in the new year via dedicated new £40,000 fund. For more advice visit hackney.gov.uk/hackney-money-…
