Volunteers are urgently needed to help with the "Rebuilding Our Communities Day" in Kendal this Saturday.
The Gateway Group - made up of a number of local charities - is planning to visit 900 properties who were hit by December's floods to offer a friendly ear and advise people on what support's available.
Anybody who can help out on the day is being asked to spare a few hours - there'll be going out from Sandylands Church to the Mintsfeet and Farcross wards between 10am and noon; then again between 2pm and 4pm.
Anyone interested in lending a hand can email the Gateway Group at via admin@sandylandschurch.com or call 01539 723030.
Meanwhile, people with affected properties are being asked to be at them on Saturday so they can receive the help on offer.
