Three of us popped into Lavendar Hope at lunchtime to continue painting the walls ready for when the community hall opens. Kimberley took charge of a very small room but made a big difference. Me and Emily ended up doing a second coat in the women's toilets managing to socially distance while cutting in and manoeuvring a ladder around.
I'm not sure any of us got away paint-free, but we were assured by the folk there that the paint would wash out. Fingers crossed!
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.
