There are 17 warm spaces in a one mile radius of Cardiff city centre alone. These stats shows how vital spaces like the one at NoFit State are to people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scheme at NoFit State proved particularly popular during the February half-term holiday. NoFit State gave parents the chance to keep their children occupied for free, a gesture that was much appreciated.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver the holiday, NoFit State have been trying to give people free stuff to do because it can be hard to find something free to entertain the children,\u201d explained Rowan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis half-term there were circus workshops and craft sessions in the mornings and afternoons. The children were making things like lanterns ready for an event we held on the Saturday called Parklight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe still held warm space as usual on the Tuesday that week and it was so busy. It was amazing, we were at full capacity. We had the morning session and lunch, that was really appreciated. Everyone was eating together and chatting together, it felt like a real community space. It felt really special.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe workshops continued through the week and we had a really good turnout at Brewery Park on the Saturday for Parklight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was incredible for children in the area to see some circus skills in person and it was really special for all of that to be brought into the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Have you had to use a warm space scheme or a similar initiative due to the cost-of-living crisis?<\/p>&mdash; Adam Cleary (@AdamCleary7) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamCleary7\/status\/1637809667098198025?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 20, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular users of the warm space have been full of praise for the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been very beneficial.
