Treasury response to cost-of-living crisis
More than £52,000 was spent funding ‘warm spaces’ over five months.
The money for the Community Warm Spaces fund – which came from Treasury – was part of a response to the cost-of-living crisis in light of rising energy bills.
Between October and March the Manx Lottery Trust oversaw the distribution of financial support to organisations offering people somewhere warm to congregate.
Cabinet Office Minister Kate Lord-Brennan says whilst government funding has stopped the support hasn’t:
