Crown Paints has donated more than 6,000 litres of paint to community groups across the country as part of its commitment to support regeneration through murals and paint projects.
The donations form part of the decorating giant’s partnership with home improvement retailer Wickes through the Wickes Community Programme, an initiative that supports local community organisations in maintaining and updating their spaces.
Crown became the official paint partner for the programme in December 2023 and since then 6,116 litres of repurposed paint that may otherwise be disposed of has been given a new lease of life through donations to 112 local community organisations.
The partnership has so far provided paint to hospitals, schools, community centres and many more organisations. This includes a 70-litre donation to the National Animal Welfare Trust (NAWT) in Watford, which enabled the refurbishment of facilities at its rehoming and rescue centre, supporting the shelter of approximately 400 animals each year.
An additional 70 litres were supplied to the Vine Centre, a mental health support and addiction recovery centre in Aldershot. Volunteers from the Wickes Farnborough store renovated the site’s bathrooms, improving the experience of its residents.
