The warm space provides a place for people to meet, enjoy refreshments, and access free practical support.

It also works with Cowes Community Pantry and other organisations, offering specialist advice and support from Living Well, Age UK, Citizens Advice, Warm Home advisers, and The Salvation Army.

Cllr Martin expressed gratitude to the Vectensian Lodge, stating the donation would help the warm space continue to support local residents and enhance community wellbeing.

The Northwood Warm Space is open every Tuesday from 12.30pm at Northwood Village Hall.
