Emmaus Bolton is celebrating five years of stocking ReColour paint, which has been a great source of income to support people with experience of homelessness as well as a source of work and training.

The charity is home for up to 20 people, who are given opportunities to develop skills and give back to the community by participating in several different social enterprises at its base off Fletcher Street in Bolton.

Customers can choose ReColour paint as one of the finishes for orders of made to measure furniture or for upcycling projects carried out at Emmaus Bolton’s workshops. ReColour is also available directly from the shelves of the Drill Hall store for exterior and interior DIY projects. Tradespeople can ask about painting and decorating packs, available for painters and decorators for large scale projects.

Using innovative technology, Community RePaint is able to take leftover paints, filter, treat and blend them to create a range of high-quality emulsions, masonry and chalk furniture paint in large quantities of affordable paint. Read more here on how remanufactured paint is made within the network.

Director of Emmaus Bolton, Tony Stephenson, said: “Buying ReColour recycled paint from Emmaus Bolton not only saves customers money, it also saves the local environment because you’re buying high quality paint remanufactured from what otherwise might go to waste.

“Every purchase helps this homelessness charity provide rooms, meals, pay the bills and other costs needed to help people supported by Emmaus. ReColour is associated with many community projects across the UK and provides brighter futures for people living here. By ordering furniture and upcycling from us with this finish, you’re helping develop people’s skills, people’s confidence and CVs for when people living here are ready to take their next steps.”
