Sefton Council is once again hosting Keep Warm, Keep Well events this November for those over 50 as part of its commitment to helping vulnerable people get through winter.

Bootle and Southport

The Council’s Affordable Warmth team, in partnership with Sefton OPERA, are holding two free events. The first will take place at Firwood Cricket Club in Bootle on Monday 11th November from 10.30am to 3:30pm. The second event will be taking place at The Atkinson Centre in Southport on Monday 18th November, from 10.30am to 3:30pm.
