It’s village Halls Week, an annual campaign to shine a spotlight on the contribution England’s 10,000+ village halls make to rural communities.

This year is all about encouraging Village Halls to ‘go green’ and reduce their carbon footprint and champion sustainability for generations to come.

We’re delighted to be able to help village halls ‘Go Green’ when they look to buy paint to redecorate their spaces.

By ‘RePainting’ their halls with reused or remanufactured paint rather than new, village halls can have a big impact. A purchase of a 2.5 litre can of paint saves 6.79 kg of Co2 and a 60 litre order saves 163kg of Co2! Opting for paint reuse significantly reduces waste by diverting paint from landfill and minimizing the need for new paint production. Additionally, utilizing reclaimed paint can be more cost-effective for village halls, offering budget-friendly alternatives compared to purchasing new paint supplies.

For Gedney Village Hall, choosing ReColour paint made a massive difference.

Gill Thomas writes “Our village hall was built in the 1970’s and although it now has central heating, the hall was looking tired and uncared for. Like many village halls we were struggling, especially after Covid with a reduction in the number of people using the hall.

We chose Community Repaint as it offered a variety of paints and colours within a reduced price range. We had a budget and because of the discounted prices we were able to not only paint our main hall, but also the bar area, kitchen and freshen up our toilets.

Our hall now looks bright, clean and loved. Lots of people have commented on how good the hall looks and there is now more people using our hall.

So thank you Community Repaint, we couldn’t have done it without you!”

If you are a village hall looking for a sustainable and affordable paint, we’re here to help!
