Warm Welcome Spaces at the Connaught now open!

Warm Welcome Spaces at the Connaught now open!

More timely than expected with today’s snowfall, Fraser’s Bar at the Connaught Theatre opens as a warm space on Mondays.

For the second year in a row WTM are proud to be taking part in the Warm Welcome Spaces project, with support from Adur and Worthing Council.

The ongoing cost-of-living crisis means that millions of people across the UK are facing homelessness,  energy poverty, or are unable to heat their homes. 

We’ve joined a network of community organisations, libraries, businesses and other groups across the UK who have opened their doors to provide a warm and welcoming space to go to this winter.

Since 1st December 2023 Worthing Museum has been open as a Warm Space, providing a welcoming environment with free wifi, as well as the museum’s excellent range of free displays and exhibitions for all ages. On Thursdays the Museum has offered free hot drinks, baked goods, and activity packs, as well as being joined by representatives from local support groups and charities. They are on hand to provide advice, support, and raise awareness. 

Now, in Frasers bar at the Connaught on Mondays, visitors can find the same hot drinks, baked goods, support and activities, alongside a range of board games and a kindness rack of free warm clothes to take away. We have also donated free cinema tickets for Monday evenings and Saturday morning pictures. These are distributed  through partnerships with local charities and advice giving community organisations who directly support those in need.
