There are some fantastic initiatives going on to help us all through this Winter and the Cost of Living crisis. @WeAreLSCFT’s fantastic Recovery Colleges are part of the @WarmWelcome_UK community response and check out @CumbriaCC @LancashireCC for more info on Warm hubs.
Winter can be cold and wet however our #Deepdale & #ChaiCentre sites are registered warm hubs! Pop into Deepdale Monday to Friday 9:30am/4:30pm or our Chai site from 9:00am/2:00pm to get a warm drink and avoid the winter weather! @WeAreLSCFT @Adele38309767 @LancashireCC
