This winter, we are continuing to support our residents with food, energy and advice services, as well as a variety of free community and cultural activities for everyone to enjoy. All will take place in warm and safe locations around the city.

You can find more help and advice on our Cost of Living support hub.

This directory will help you to find things to do over the colder months, including social activities with your friends and neighbours, ways to keep active and some with warm meals. There are plenty of ways to stay social this winter.
