Paint volunteers help at our scheme in Handsworth

Our scheme in Sandwell and Soho was lucky enough to host two paint volunteer teams during #VolunteerWeek, in partnership with Neighbourly and Marks and Spencer. The two stores were helping redecorate the Law Leisure and Learning Centre, which helps support the youth in the Handsworth area. The volunteers did a fantastic job and we were grateful they help redecorate.

Volunteer team decorate our scheme in Torfaen

The volunteer team redecorated CoStar, who host our Community RePaint Torfaen scheme, during the #MarksInAction week, in partnership with Neighbourly.  They used reclaimed paint that otherwise would have been wasted, but was collected for reuse at the scheme. Watch the video below to see the fantastic work of the volunteer team and their results.

This week, the spotlight is on Simon, the paint specialist at Community RePaint Loughborough! In the scheme’s own words…

‘Simon is our paint specialist collecting, checking and displaying the paint for our loyal customers. If you are nice to him, he may even mix you a custom colour… He is a great mentor to the residents that work with him and he is a real asset to the ReUse Project! We love you, Simon!’
