Norton and Cuxley Village Hall has never looked better! Thanks to a passionate group of local volunteers and a splash ReColour paint. The community hub received a fresh coat of paint in time to host a vibrant VE Day celebration—and saved 60 litres of paint from going to waste in the process!
The makeover was made possible with ReColour paint, remanufactured by Community RePaint Cambridgeshire. During Village Halls Week, the hall committee put out a call for help—think DIY SOS: Village Hall Edition—and the community didn’t disappoint. Volunteers of all ages rolled up their sleeves to rejuvenate the main hall and side rooms, giving the space a much-needed face lift.
Trustee and Secretary, Nancy shared her experinece: “Our Community RePaint day in March 2025 at Norton & Cuckney Village Hall was a wonderful event. The whole process from asking the community what colour they wanted, to ordering the paint, to collecting it was straightforward. The staff at Community RePaint and at the store in Wisbech were really helpful and I cannot thank them or recommend them enough.”
The freshly painted hall was soon put to good use, decked in red, white, and blue for the VE Day festivities.
So what does the future hold for the village hall?
“Well it’s up to the community really! said Connor, one of the organisers. “We’re getting all ready for future events painted and cleaned, and so it can be used as much as possible, for more quiz night and more events in the future. We want to have everyone on side. so it’s great to see everyone turning out for days like this.”
If your community space could use a makeover, you can order ReColour paint (with a minimum of 60 litres) straight to your door. It’s a smart, sustainable, and budget-friendly way to brighten your space—and your community.
