Crown Paints donates 15,000 litres of paint in Wickes partnership

Crown Trade’s colour services

Crown Paints has delivered more than 15,000 litres of paint to community projects across the UK – 50% above its original goal.

As the official Paint Partner for the Wickes Community Programme, Crown supplies charities and community groups with quality paint to refresh vital spaces.

The milestone marks significant growth since the partnership with Wickes began in 2024, when 8,000 litres were donated.

Tracey McIlvenny, head of retail marketing at Crown Paints, said: “This initiative allows us to support community projects across the country while giving surplus paint a meaningful purpose instead of going to waste. It’s a straightforward way to make a real difference – helping groups refresh vital spaces while supporting our wider sustainability commitments through Project Possible. We’re looking forward to reaching even more communities in the year ahead.”
