"Warm Spaces" is an initiative introduced in the UK in 2023. It provides a warm space for friendship and some warm refreshment for those in need.
Many Rotary clubs up and down the country support this scheme, wherever it is held. Rotary is not in any way connected to any religion, however the two "Warm spaces" in the bay area are at Christ Church, Sandown and Lake Methodist church.
Sandown Rotary club have been delighted to support this scheme again this year.
