They offer high-quality Early Years Childcare in their Nurseries, and create employment and volunteer opportunities, including training and career development. They also partner with local organisations to provide services and assistance, aiming to foster community growth and well-being.

Project Details

Footprints has not been painted in over 20 years and does not match the level of service delivered by the centre. We are now looking to repaint the whole building. Below is a breakdown of what this will entail:

Preparing surfaces
Two coats of Acrylic Durable Matt on walls
Gloss all skirting boards and doors Date

Date & Volunteer Number

We have identified three days for this project to be delivered. In this instance we are looking for teams on all sizes to support us on any of the below dates:
– Monday 18th August 2025
– Tuesday 19th August 2025
– Wednesday 20th August 2025

On-site support

On the day Participate will be providing a member of staff to support the volunteers. A trained first aider and first aid kit will be available during the challenge. A “Tools Talk” and health and safety briefing will be given by Participate at the beginning of the day.

Preparation

Volunteers will be undertaking painting activities and are required to wear old and reasonably robust clothing that you will not mind getting paint on. We do offer paint overalls, although these do not guarantee no damage to clothing. We also require sensible sturdy footwear, avoiding heels and open toe footwear. Where personal protective equipment is required, it will be provided.

Materials, tools and equipment

Tools and materials will be provided by Participate Projects.
