Warm spaces and welcoming places in South Tyneside: The full list of sites in South Shields, Hebburn, Jarrow and more

With the cost of energy showing no sign of decreasing, local authorities are planning ways to ensure residents across the UK are able to stay warm and safe as we enter winter and South Tyneside Council have announced a series of spaces across the region can be used as community areas. Select spaces also allow residents to get support and advice.

Following from the warm places which became prominent across the region last year, the sites are now known as welcome places.

Where are the warm and welcome places across South Tyneside this winter?

The Council have split the spaces into three sections, community spaces, council spaces and children’s centres. The full list of sites is as follows alongside their opening hours.
