Almost 30 venues have been announced as ‘Welcome Spaces’
and Glasgow Life along with the voluntary sector are making the spaces available and staffing them to provide somewhere for people to go where they are guaranteed to get heating.The first venues in libraries and community centres will start to open next week and more could be added if there is demand.
Ruairi Kelly, city convener of neighbourhood services, said: “The Welcome Places programme will be an evolving situation to meet the needs of our citizens and will be part of a range of measures that we are looking at. “With Welcome Places, we want to offer alternative solutions and a place for people to feel secure, warm, with company, and with a friendly face available to help as well as the chance to find out about other support being delivered, in some cases, by the third sector in our city.”Designated Welcome Places will also include welfare and refreshments, and the use of wifi and PCs in libraries, and will offer a welcoming sanctuary and heated spot for residents to spend some time in and save money.
