Dulux, a key sponsor of Community RePaint since 1993, has confirmed its commitment to the programme by agreeing further funding for network support through Resource Futures over 3 years (2008-2010). This is great news and means we can spend less time applying for additional funding and concentrate on supporting individual projects and network development.
As a result we are now working more closely with Dulux, and Community RePaint will be promoted at a national level through various initiatives which we hope will reuslt in local projects recieving more paint and increased redistribution. 2009 will see Community RePaint promoted in Dulux colour cards, on the back of all Dulux paint tins and in a variety of major DIY retailer stores. We will be talking to projects directly and keeping you informed of developments and initiatives throughout next year.
We’ve also got a new logo, which now includes the strapline ‘Dulux, proud sponsor since 1993’ and you’ll see this being used on our website, e-zine etc and any new promotional items. Dulux are also using the logo and featuring Community RePaint on the new environmental section on their website:
