Our centre is constantly needing maintained and one of the biggest and most expensive tasks is painting rooms, corridors, halls, patching up paint jobs, doors, staining, fences etc. Some of the spaces are quite small, no bigger than your average house toilet or living room, so it doesn’t need to be a huge commitment and done in one visit. We would love painters to give a little time to our centre to help us maintain the building so that money can be better spent helping some of the most vulnerable people in society.
