Leading decorating and DIY specialist Leyland has re-launched its popular Big School Makeover initiative, which will see three London schools win a share of a £10,000 prize fund.
One winning school will receive £5,000 to spend at any of Leyland’s 35 stores across the capital, while two runners-up will secure £2,500 worth of paint, tools and building materials to revamp the environment for their pupils.
Anyone can nominate any school within London for the prize, regardless of age group, by visiting the campaign website and submitting 100 words explaining how the funding would help. Entries are open between September 3 and September 30.
Ten finalists will then be selected and the three winners decided by public vote.
Martin Hastings, CEO of Leyland, said: “We’re proud to launch our premier community initiative for a third consecutive year, helping to make tangible improvements to three schools in London. Big School Makeover always captures the imagination. In previous years, we have seen more than 500 nominations and 10,000 votes, which demonstrates the passion people feel for schools.”
