After a long wait, on 12 April 2021, schemes in England and Wales have reopened their doors to customers.

Community RePaint schemes reopen in England and Wales today under the second stage of the UK government’s four-step roadmap for lifting lockdown. Staff at the schemes are excited to welcome customers back to COVID-safe shopping and to provide affordable paint individuals.

The national lockdown in the United Kingdom in early January 2021 resulted in most Community RePaint schemes closing their doors to the public. Schemes adapted to the situation by offering click and collect services and kerbside pick up, which allowed them to continue providing paint to brighten spaces and lives in local communities.
