Warm spaces

Torbay Warm Spaces Charter 

You will be welcome and warm. 

Warm Spaces will offer you a place to feel warm and welcomed, regardless of the reason for your visit. Everyone is welcome and treated equally, with dignity and respect, by staff and volunteers. 

Warm Spaces are safe places. 

You should feel safe in a Warm Space. Venues will have safeguarding processes and policies in place for your protection, and they will follow them. If they are serving food and drinks, they will follow Food Hygiene rules as well. 

It doesn’t matter why you visit a Warm Space 

You won’t be asked why you need a Warm Space. Whatever the reason for your visit, you will be treated equally and never judged.  

We won’t tell anyone you visited a Warm Space 

If you want to share the reasons for your visit, that’s ok. Someone will listen, but they won’t tell anyone else without your permission, unless they must because of their safeguarding policy.  

Below is a list of local organisations offering warm, welcoming spaces in Torbay where you can relax, connect, and feel at home.
