Warm spaces, often called warm banks, have been slowly popping up in the news over the last few weeks, but what exactly are they? We answer that question by speaking to a Sunderland-based journalist, and someone who is helping to run a warm space in the heart of the city.

The Team:

• Bethany Jones
• Eve Percy
• Callum Rowe

With teaching supervision by Richard Berry, Jay Sykes, and Jenny Wotherspoon, and proof-listened by Tyler Selby.

A Spark Sunderland podcast, produced at the University of Sunderland.
