AVOW Shopmobility > Warm Space
Community Warm Space
Visit Shopmobility Wrexham to get warm, have a brew, and have some friendly conversation! AVOW will have welcoming staff there to talk to (or not, if you’d prefer some peace and quiet) while you wait for a bus, or need somewhere to thaw out from the winter weather.
There will be tea and coffee available to help yourself, and maybe some biscuits too (if you get there early enough)!
If people want to share why they need a Warm Space, they will be listened to and signposted to where they can go for help where possible. If people need additional help or support with the cost of living, we will put them in touch with organisations that might be able to help.
The AVOW Shopmobility Warm Space is part of the Safe Place scheme.
The Shopmobility Warm Space is open during Shopmobility opening times. Generally, those are between 10am and 4pm Monday – Friday.
The Warm Space is also open even when it’s not cold outside. It can even provide a bit of shade and somewhere to take a rest.
NOTE: There are no toilet facilities at Shopmobility Wrecsam Warm Space.
The Shopmobility Warm Space can be found inside Shopmobility Wrexham. Shopmobility Wrexham can be found at the central bus-station, King Street, Wrexham, LL11 1HG.
The Shopmobility Wrecsam Warm Space is free to use. There is no need to be a member of Shopmoility, or pay. It’s there to help keep people warm during the cold spells.
The Safe Place scheme provides reassurance to people who may feel vulnerable when they go out, helping them to live more independent lifestyles.
Knowing there are Safe Places in their community offering help if needed, helps people feel safer and more confident going out into their community.
How this scheme works
Local shops, businesses and organisations sign up to become a ‘Safe Place’. A sticker is placed in the window or on a door of a Safe Place, identifying that help is available there.
If you are someone who may feel vulnerable while you are out, you can sign up to the scheme and get your own Safe Places card to carry with you. The card will show contact details for someone you trust so that a member of staff in a Safe Place can call them if you need help.
As well as calling the trusted contact person on your Safe Places card, members of staff at a Safe Place can:
- find you somewhere safe to wait and reassure you until the situation is resolved
- call the police or an ambulance if it is an emergency
For more information on this scheme, see the Wrexham County Borough Council Website.
