A FULL list of warm spaces in or near Cirencester, Tetbury and Malmesbury has been shared by Cotswold District Council

Warm spaces are places where people can gather free-of-charge in a warm, safe, welcoming place if they are struggling to heat their home.

Each space is independently run by a community organisation.

Some offer hot drinks and other services such as free Wi-Fi, activities and pay-as-you-feel cafes.

One warm space was opened by Northleach resident Amy who opened up the former Black Cat Café as a space for people to come and be warm this winter.
