There’s a Warm Welcome at Home from Home in Wymondham Baptist Church as the clocks go back this winter.

With fuel prices increasing and the days getting shorter and darker, Wymondham Baptist Church Home from Home will open its doors as a Warm Welcome Space to bring people together this winter. As the clocks go back at the end of October, ushering in darker and colder months, Home from Home is here to support anyone struggling with loneliness or heating their homes.

WBC Home from Home wants to ensure that everyone knows how to find a place of belonging. Our doors are open from Thursday, 7th November and ready to welcome them. Research from the Warm Welcome Campaign shows that although there are 4,000 Warm Welcome Spaces across the country, awareness is low, and only 18% of the population knows how to find their local space.

Home from Home is a warm, welcoming, safe and free space open to everyone in our community. We will be open every Thursday from 7th November from 1:30pm – 4:30pm. Warm snacks, soup, tea and coffee, will be freely available to everyone who visits us. There will be games to play, activities to engage in, jigsaw puzzles to do as well as people to chat with.

We want everyone to find a welcome and warm space, where they can chat and meet new people. It is a wonderful opportunity to connect with others, make new friends and have some fun. We’d love you to come along and get to know us over a cuppa. Spread the word so everyone can find our Warm Welcome Space – Home from Home at Wymondham Baptist Church, Queen Street, Wymondham.

As well as Home from Home, we also have a Community Café called Roots which is open every Wednesday and Friday morning from 10:00am – 1:00pm, and our youth café, Thrive@Roots, is open on Tuesday afternoon from 3:15pm – 5:00pm.
