A few weeks ago we visited @forestrecyclingproject A few weeks ago we visited @forestrecyclingproject for their big paint giveaway. With over 1000L of paint distributed over 3 days, it was a great success. It was great to meet the awesome team there, speak to their lovely customers and see what a fantastic job they're doing to give unwanted paint a new life. This video gives an insight into that work and the positive impact it has on members of their local community. If you're in East London get down to the @forestrecyclingproject and check out their amazing selection of paints at prices much lower than anywhere else on the high street. Thanks a lot to the team for all their hard work and their customers for the super feedback. ❀️ #reclaimed #paint #Leytonstone #E11 #Walthamstow #E17 #WalthamForest #EastLondon #lowcostliving #zerowaste #community #repaint #CommunityRePaint #reloved #sustainability
