Everyone is welcome, and can stay as long as they like, space permitting and dependent on individual opening times.
The vast majority will offer a hot drink and access to wi-fi, while some will be offering hot food. Others include specific activities, spaces for work/recreation and access to books and games, including many child-friendly spaces.
Leader of Hounslow Council, Councillor Shantanu Rajawat, said: “It’s regrettable that in 2022, we find ourselves identifying warm spaces for residents unable to heat their homes affordably. Nevertheless, Hounslow has displayed a true sense of community, pulling together during a difficult time for many who deserve greater central support.
"This network is developing by the day, and we thank our vibrant voluntary sector, multi-faith community and Council partners for mobilising so swiftly. Watch this space for more participating organisations over the coming weeks.”
