Bristol City provides paint for upcycling projects

We love receiving photos from our customers of their fantastic upcycling projects, and we were very impressed with the creativity of Jules in Bristol. Jules not only upcycled the bedroom furniture but also created an ombre effect on the walls – great job!

Community RePaint Bristol City, run by SOFA project, collect and distribute paint that they collect from the community. They work alongside Bristol Waste, who collect paint at the St Phillips Household Waste Recycling Centre.

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.
