Ahead of what looks like becoming a particularly challenging winter Moortown Baptist Church has registered as a Warm Welcome Space.
Warm Welcome Space is a nationwide project intended to provide precisely that. However, with Beacon cafe, Stepping Stones, Open Door Craft Group, etc. etc. already in place our thinking is we don’t really need to set up special spaces but simply to invite anyone who may be struggling with the choice of either eating or heating to join us.
You’ll hear more about this as we approach the longer nights and the first heavy fuel bills arrive but if you or anyone you know might like to speak to us about our Warm Welcome Space simply contact Shelley or any of your deacons.
Below there is a link to a PDF explaining what needs to be done to register as a Warm Welcome Space which we hope you will find interesting.
There’s also some late news from Shelley that MBC is also now registered with Leeds City Council’s Warm Spaces project but more news on that later.
