Warm welcome for struggling Harborough residents

Residents can warm up with a free cuppa or two.

A new warm space at St Dionysius’ Church will be available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

A church is offering residents a warm welcome in Market Harborough.

A new warm space at St Dionysius’ Church will be available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 10am to 12 noon, offing a place to sit and free hot drinks.

This is the latest addition to the warm spaces offered by other churches in the town to provide comfort for people struggling with heating their homes during the cost of living crisis.

Others include on Mondays at Harborough Baptist Church in its New Horizons Hall, which can be accessed from Manor Walk, from 10am to 1pm. Refreshments and hot soup are available.

On Thursdays, the Congregational Church is open from 11am to 3pm, offering free refreshments and a soup and roll lunch.

A number of warm hubs opened late last year, across the district, including at leisure centres in Market Harborough and Lutterworth to help residents through the crisis.
