Report written by Mark Gilyead (he/him)
A lovely little gang on a Wednesday afternoon, slapping some paint on the walls (and a bit on the floor...).
We met Thandi, who works with Lavender Hope, an organisation that provide after school activities for kids as well as computers for adults to use for job hunting etc. - it's great.
They're doing a massive refurb so we were there to paint one of the toilets.
We were using white paint (having debated how problematic and vintage magnolia is) and did a couple of layers with some good, some sketchy rollers, as well as some brushes for the edges.
We managed a solid 2 coats but decided it needed to dry before applying a third. Maybe next time.
Nice one Tom and Lenka - hopefully see you soon 👍
We want to be able to help people with training for qualifications or CV help and advice, basically vocational rehab. Additionally, a safe place for children to come to after school, with their parent's consent to come and either partake in after-school activities, e.g games, cooking. We would also like to signpost people who may be suffering from mental health issues and lastly benefit help utilizing turn2us and calling Universal credit. We are here to help people get back on their feet, with care and support.
