  • Warmth Banks Set Up Across The UK To Help Combat The Energy Price Crisis<br>CARDIFF, WALES - NOVEMBER 08: A volunteer sorts through donated clothes for children at the Rumney Forum community charity on November 8, 2022 in Cardiff, United Kingdom. The Rumney Forum is a resident-led community organisation in Cardiff that take in and give out donations to families in need. The centre, located in a former library, also operates as a foodbank and is one of a number of warm spaces where residents can spend time. With the cost of living crisis and increase in energy bills affecting households across the UK this winter, many councils and charities are opening safe, heated spaces. These spaces are known as warm banks and charities say that they should only be a short-term fix to the issues facing people and not the long-term solution as foodbanks have become.

    Charities cannot substitute for state services
