Warm Welcome

Over 80 Warm Welcome Spaces opened their doors on 1st November across Surrey. These include community centres, church halls, local clubs, and most of Surrey’s libraries – scroll down to view a list of the locations across Mole Valley.

Residents can visit any Warm Welcome to receive a free hot drink, stay warm and be with people in their local community. Each venue offers something different but some of the services available are: Free Hot Drinks, Fuel Vouchers, Winter Warm Packs, Energy Advice, Debt and Budgeting Advice, Free Meals and Food Bank Referrals.

Warm Welcomes are open to all, free of charge and will run from 1 November 2025 to 31 March 2026. All are welcome to attend, regardless of where you live or your circumstances. For a full list of Warm Welcomes, visit the Warm welcome page of the SCC website.
