A WARM welcome to Sandylands is being given to residents on two new housing estates in Kendal.

Sandylands Methodist Church and St.Georges CE Church are greeting newcomers with a welcome bag of goodies as they move into their new homes.

The bag contains Fairtrade coffee and chocolate bars, homemade jam, homemade biscuits and a pack of local leaflets to introduce people to the area. Each item has been donated by different members of the congregations.
