Birchwood Leisure Centre designated as a 'Cool Space' to help Lincoln residents beat the heat

Birchwood Leisure Centre is providing a 'Cool Space' for anyone seeking respite from the heat.

The initiative supports those who may be vulnerable this summer - which in many areas is turning into a record season for high temperatures and repeated heatwaves. Anyone can use the service - including non-members.

As well as offering a welcoming, cool environment and tap water, Cool Spaces can offer an introduction to physical activity if so wanted - swimming and refreshments from the cafe can be obtained (normal admission charges apply).
