Residents across West Northamptonshire are invited to come together for a day of connection, learning, and support at the Warm Welcoming Spaces Event, taking place on Tuesday 20 January 2026, from 10am to 2pm at Leicester Street Community Hub, 2 Leicester Street, Northampton NN1 3RS. 

This event is part of Warm Welcome Week, a national campaign running from Monday 19 January to Sunday 25 January 2026, designed to give ‘Blue Monday’ a colourful makeover and help communities stay warm, connected, and supported during the winter months. 

Throughout the event people can access: 

• Information and advice on local services and support
• Digital inclusion activities to help residents get online and access resources
• Community networking opportunities in a welcoming, friendly environment 

Warm Welcome Week highlights the importance of creating spaces where people can come together, combat isolation, and access practical help during what can be a challenging time of year. 

January can feel tough for many, but Warm Welcome Week is all about turning that around by bringing people together in safe, friendly spaces. Our welcoming spaces offer warmth, conversation, and practical support. This event is an opportunity to connect with your community and find out what help is available locally.Cllr Laura Couse, Cabinet Member for Communities at West Northamptonshire Council
