Warm Welcome 2.0

This project was in response to the energy crisis in the UK, to partner with public spaces across the nation to become warm and safe places for those who weren't able to afford to heat their homes. The first build in 2022 enabled 6,000 organisations to register (4,000+ open on the map), providing a warm space for their local communities to access. It reached over 50k visitors per week with users finding a warm space or organisations using resources to equip themselves in the safe delivery of their own warm welcome space. The second build that launched in September 2023 is a big improvement in terms of user experience. It incorporates a lot more features like users being able to add multiple spaces, Space pages, a new and improved volunteer map (partnering with Rotary) so that Spaces needing volunteers can advertise themselves on the volunteer map and an improved data back end powered by Airtable so that the team can find data much more easily.
