Leyland volunteer with homelessness charity

Volunteers from DIY specialist Leyland, volunteered to redecorate communal spaces for St Mungo’s homelessness charity.

Rebecca Keen and Ashley Deans, visual merchandisers at Leyland, spent a day painting at one of St Mungo’s North London accommodation services, part of the local Progression Pathway initiative offering supported housing and tailored support for people facing complex challenges, including histories of rough sleeping and long-term homelessness.

The new coral pink colour scheme for the service’s IT lounge and staff office were chosen to create a more welcoming, calming environment.

Deans, who has been with Leyland for five years, said: “It was a really fantastic day and we were delighted to be able to help such a great cause.
“The room was white and well-worn to start with, but looked so much better once Rebecca and I had given it a fresh coat of paint, under the supervision of professional contractors.”

Leyland colleagues are given one paid day per year to volunteer in the local community.
