This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming new residents to our community by delivering welcome letters and baskets. One new resident has already stopped by to pick up his welcome basket!

He was very grateful to learn that, in his new home, WWH is here to help with things like forms, booking medical appointments, or simply being available for a friendly chat.

We are always thankful for the opportunity to meet new neighbours and help make them feel at home in our community. πŸ’›
