Community groups and organisations across County Durham are being invited to apply for financial support to become Welcome Spaces.
Durham County Council is working alongside the County Durham Community Foundation (CDCF) to offer funding to the voluntary and community sector to create a network of places where people feel safe, warm, and included.
Alongside community groups and organisations, the authority’s Family Hubs and 39 library buildings will also join the scheme.
Both the council and CDCF are contributing to the funding, with a combined pot of £280,000 available to support organisations which can apply for a grant of up to £3,000.
