The full list of 55 warm spaces across Sunderland to help residents this winter - and when they are open

With the cost of energy showing no sign of decreasing, local authorities are planning ways to ensure residents across the UK are able to stay warm this winter and Sunderland City Council have announced 55 spaces across the city can be used as community areas.

Additional ways to get support can be found through Sunderland City Council's website while a series of support payments will further assist households through ongoing cost of living crisis.
