Preparing to open your church as a Warm Space

Advice | Advice | Preparing to open your church as a Warm Space

If you are planning to open your Church as a Warm Space, here is how you can get prepared:

Think about access
Your premises will need to provide ease of access, toilet facilities, and plenty of space to accommodate beds and people. Plan out how much space you would need and which facilities and work out the practicalities before committing.
Speak to other churches in your community
Organisations often team up to provide Warm Spaces without the pressure to open every single night. Consider joining forces with other churches, community centres and places of worship. Take it in turns to open with a rota system, share volunteers and pool resources to keep costs down.

Activities such as cooking on the premises and having members of the public staying overnight may affect your insurance, such as your Public Liability cover.

Let us know your plans before you open, and we will ask all the relevant questions to make sure that your cover is up to date. Give us a call today on 01564 730 900 or email us at enquiries@edwardsinsurance.co.uk
