Steven Donovan, Customer Vulnerability Lead, at OVO, said: “Warm Welcome Week is an incredibly important initiative that supports families across the UK during one of the most difficult times of year.
“It’s more than just providing a warm space; it’s about making genuine human connections and providing additional support that people may not have known about.
“OVO wholeheartedly supports its mission, and continues to call on the government to implement a social tariff to protect those who cannot afford to heat their homes through the sustained period of high prices to come.”
David Barclay, Warm Welcome Campaign Director, says: “Demand for Warm Welcome Spaces is always high in January.
“It’s the darkest and often coldest time of year, with too many people feeling lonely or having to make the awful choice between heating and eating.
“OVO’s generous support is vital, raising awareness, connecting communities, and doing everything they can to support people struggling with energy bills.”
“We don’t want anyone to feel cold or alone this winter. That’s why we’re asking everyone to join us in Warm Welcome Week to raise awareness so more people can find a place of belonging and connection close to home, and by encouraging more community spaces to become Warm Welcome Spaces.”
