Comment on this story on the

As part of a broader effort to help people deal with the cost of living, St Nicholas Church in Chiswick has launched a Heat Bank.

Operating on the same principle as a food bank, every Wednesday from 10am to 5pm starting on 2 November, anyone struggling with heating bills or who just needs a warm place to stay can enter the church.

There will be a free soup lunch, hot drinks and kitchen facilities available. Free wi-fi and phone device charging will be provided and there will be access to free debt advice from Crosslight Advice.

The Hounslow Community Solutions team will also be there in the mornings on the last Wednesday of the month.

Free, clean second-hand coats and duvets will be given out if needed.

More volunteers are required for the Heat Bank team. Contact office@stnicholaschiswick.org for more information.

St Nicholas Church is on Church Street (W4 2PH).


 

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
