Warm Spaces

Newcastle Trampoline Park and Gym to offer a warm welcome this winter

Newcastle Trampoline Park & Gym in Newcastle has been designated a Warm Space by GLL, the not-for-profit charitable social enterprise that operates it on behalf of Newcastle city council.

The new initiative has been set up in response to this winter’s cost of living crisis and will offer anyone living in the vicinity of a participating leisure centre a warm welcome, comfortable seating, the opportunity to charge a phone or device, use the free WiFi or even have a hot shower.  In addition, leading wholesale food service company Brakes, has agreed to donate free tea, coffee and biscuits.

The Warm Space will be open to all, both leisure centre members and non-members alike.  It will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 1pm and 3pm.

The scheme is also being supported by AgeUK Gateshead , West End Foodbank and Citizens Advice. These organisations have agreed to help us in getting the message out to the right people about the centre, these sessions and how they can make use of our offer.

Commenting on the Warm Spaces initiative Steven Duke, General Manager at Newcastle Trampoline Park and Gym said: “As a facility at the heart of our local community we quickly became aware that a number of local residents were concerned that they might struggle to heat their homes this winter and as a charitable social enterprise we wanted to help.

Leisure centres are ideally suited to serve as warm spaces, they are easily accessible, known to everyone and a natural meeting place.  Our staff will be on hand to offer a warm welcome to anyone wishing to make the most of our warm space during the difficult months ahead.”
