The Old Library is a referral point for Winter Warmth – Safe and Warm Calderdale Project, run jointly by Calderdale Council and Voluntary Action Calderdale.
Winter Warm project is designed to support people and families at risk from cold weather to get through the winter “Safe and Warm”. The project offers a range of practical support and advice.
If you know of a vulnerable person or a family who find it difficult to get through the winter, tell them that support is available in The Old Library. All they have to do is to meet with Oxana the Development Worker to order the items they need and request the advice they need. We can meet you at The Old Library or anywhere in Cornholme and Portsmouth that is convenient for you.
Deliveries usually arrive in the morning, Tuesday and Friday, within a week of your order.
