Many households are struggling with the cost of living, including recent rises in the price of energy. 

To help residents, we're working with the local councils, businesses and other organisations to provide a Warm Spaces directory.

During the winter months, Oxford offers residents a network of warm spaces and activities.

Warm Spaces are safe and friendly public places where people of all ages can go to comfortably spend time reading, studying, chatting with others and meeting new people in their community.

These spaces provide free and low-cost options for socializing, getting support, or enjoying a hot drink or meal.

Here are all the Warm Spaces in Oxford:
