The Welsh Government has announced an additional £1.5 million of funding to provide warm hubs across Wales.
Warm hubs provide a safe place where people can meet, get advice, and stay warm. Many also provide practical help with managing bills, claiming benefits, and accessing energy-saving advice.
This funding commitment in the Welsh Government’s draft budget for 2025 to 2026 builds on the £1.5m already provided for warm hubs in this financial year.
On a visit to the Pontarddulais Warm Hub, Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Jane Hutt said: "This funding will mean that people across Wales can continue to access warm, welcoming spaces in their local communities. Warm hubs are about people helping people - whether it’s practical advice or a friendly chat, these spaces are open to people of all ages and provide something invaluable to everyone who walks through the door."
Pontarddulais Partnership Warm Hub Coordinator, Catherine Evans, said: "Without this provision, many members of our community would face isolation and hardship, unable to thrive amidst challenges like rising costs and limited resources. We see it as a privilege to work with them, providing not only warmth and nourishment but also companionship and support.
"Through the Warm Hub, we are proud to counteract poverty and foster a sense of belonging, ensuring that no one in our town feels forgotten or alone."
