Warm banks

Warm banks started opening in Glasgow from mid-October. Almost two dozen warm banks are taking in people in Glasgow who cannot afford to heat their homes, new figures show.

The figures come as a leading anti-poverty charity cautions that hundreds of thousands of people on low incomes are at risk during the extreme low temperatures hitting the UK.

Warm Welcome, a campaign group, has compiled a map of warm spaces across the UK – with 20 open in Glasgow as of December 1, with more having opened from mid-October.

Near the Calton are Bridgeton Library at The Olympia, Shettleston Library – 154 Wellshot Rd, Glasgow G32 7AX, St. Francis Centre, Cumberland St.
