Warm welcome centres
A free, warm and welcoming place for residents to visit during the colder winter days.
Our libraries and other faith and community buildings are open all year round.
While each offer something a little different, everywhere you visit will offer you a warm and friendly place to enjoy some company, buy a hot drink and get help and advice on how to stay warm and healthy during the winter.
There are plans for regular health, wellbeing and mental health support sessions held in the centres, as well as drop-in sessions with guests advising on how to better insulate your home.
Hot drinks are available for purchase inside our libraries. The libraries also provide free wifi and access to computers to all visitors.
H4All (a charitable organisation made up of Age UK Hillingdon Harrow & Brent, DASH, Carers Trust Hillingdon, Harlington Hospice and Hillingdon Mind) has published their Winter Wellness Directory (PDF) [14MB]. The directory is a comprehensive guide to help you navigate various challenges and stay well throughout the colder months.
