As part of our efforts to support residents through the cost of living crisis, we are establishing community ‘warm places’ – already existing warm spaces where people are welcome to come.
We are starting with our own libraries where anyone who wants to, can come inside and not only get warm but also access support and advice.

- Cefn Mawr Library
- Chirk Library
- Coedpoeth Library

Warm Places grants – expression of interest
We are keen to work with any community group or organisation that would be able to provide warm spaces within their community. If you are a group or organisation who can provide a warm place please email warmplaces@wrexham.gov.uk.
In your email, please include the following details:
- Organisation name
- Address

Please note it is an expectation that the basic offer of a warm place is free of charge to all attendees.
