Bedford’s Warm Spaces offer free, non-judgmental spaces where people can go to stay warm and maybe enjoy some company and a hot drink, or simply spend time reading a magazine or book.
Our libraries are also providing inclusive and welcoming community spaces with free Wi-Fi and a range of activities.
