Venues in Kettering and Bugbrooke in Northamptonshire are among those offering people warm places to go
Churches, libraries and community cafes are opening their doors to give people somewhere to go to keep warm as the cost of living rises.A church, chapel and the Sunday School Rooms in Bugbrooke, near Northampton, are also offering what they describe as a "community living room".
"Living in a rural area, people seem to be more affected by the increase in the price of petrol and diesel because they often have to travel by car to go to places, so the need is definitely out there." She added: "We want it to be about fostering a sense of community and perhaps helping people avoid isolation in the winter as well as keeping warm."
Parish councillor Ms Wood said the scheme was starting with three venues on three days of the week but it was hoped they could provide somewhere for people to go every day of the week.
