Creations Hair and Beauty in Nottinghamshire is just one of thousands of community centres, faith spaces and small businesses around the country offering a warm haven this winter
Curled up in a hairdresser’s chair with a hot brew and a biscuit, Zoe Cutts is finally starting to feel warm.
The 28-year-old has a joint condition that leaves her in agony â and which is made worse by the cold.
But, like so many people, she cannot afford to heat her home.
So when she heard that her local hairdresser was offering a warm space, she came down to have a look.
