Struggling families in the UK will be able to use “warm banks” this winter to protect themselves from the sky-high price of heating their homes, after the energy price cap rises again in October.

New website Warm Spaces is a “one stop shop” to guide people to where they might find some warmth this winter in their local community.
Pubs, community centres, church halls and coffee shops are among places that have already signed up, with people able to find their nearest space using the website’s interactive map.
The founders of Flint, the group behind Warm Spaces, decided to start the project after being unable to find anywhere to share their own warm bank.
Some of the warm spaces offer free food while others are simply somewhere comfortable and warm to share with others.
Businesses and community centres are being encouraged to sign up to share their warm spaces.
