New community warm rooms are set to open at Rushden Hall to provide somewhere warm for people to go as the cost of living rises.

As of Friday, November 4, the move by Rushden Town Council will look to provide a welcoming space for visitors to keep warm and socialise, with activities on offer like bingo and board games among others.

The warm rooms will be trialled until Christmas. They have been registered with www.warmwelcome.uk, a directory which lists organisations that provide free, warm, welcoming spaces throughout the UK.
