Paint Pot Day in Cumbria

Our fantastic Paint Pot Day in Barrow-in-Furness transformed the lounge into a cosy, inviting space and gave the entrance a welcoming refresh. We teamed up with Northern Healthcare to make it happen. Our team of five got to work in the morning, removing old branding from the entrance and carefully sanding down the walls and paintwork. We filled in any holes, prepping the space for a fresh look. A soft mallow pink on the feature wall added warmth and comfort to the lounge, while a crisp white mist on the surrounding walls created a clean, modern feel.

Before

Our Managing Director, Peter Aviston said, “Our Making A Difference Days help our tenants in so many ways. Doing the Paint Pot Day at our tenants’ home in Cumbria has helped to make it more homely. It was great getting to know Simon, and work alongside Tracey from our care provider partner, Northern Healthcare. We all had a fun day.”
