We did a paint job, a few paint jobs, for Lavender Hope. And we’re nearing the final paint job as they have their grand opening planned for 21st and 22nd May!
Following on from our paint job, we had a bit of a job to scrape off any paint that had gone awry. Just a little, here, there, everywhere, every sink, every light switch. We spruced it up really nicely though with our scrapers, white spirit and general elbow grease. Ready for nice new bathroom floors to match the great new floors in the common room.
A quick tea break, and we settled to come back next week. Final push to get the garden and the communal spaces ready for the opening. To which we are all invited! Details to follow in our WhatsApp group!
This task supported
We want to help the local community by becoming a hub for people to come and feel at home, whereby we can assist with social inclusion.
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.
