Colouring the Community

Colouring the Community is a scheme run by Dulux Decorator Centres which aims to give a helping hand to local community groups and charities, by donating paint and materials to help them restore their premises, community centres and surrounding areas.

Colouring the Community, which initially launched back in 2000, allows us to give something back to the communities we serve - from schools to animal sanctuaries and churches to charities. We provide donations of paint and materials so they can restore their premises. To date we have given away a phenomenal £190,000 worth of decorating products.

Got an idea? Can you think of a project within your local community that could benefit from a lick of paint? Renovation plans? Facilities need brightening up?

Colouring the Community Sport

With 2012 being the year of sport, Dulux Decorator Centres is aiming to help local grassroots sports groups through its Colouring the Community scheme, by donating paint and materials to help restore training grounds, sports centres and surrounding areas back to their former glory.

The Colouring the Community scheme, which initially launched back in 2000, allows us to give something back to the communities we serve, and to date, we've given away a staggering £190,000 worth of decorating products!

In 2011 we are also focusing on supporting local sports projects, whether it be a football, rugby, cricket or netball club, and we have a phenomenal £20,000 worth of paint and materials available, to support the upkeep of grassroots sports facilities during this significant year for sport.

If you know a football team in your local community whose changing rooms are peeling more than the Premier League, or a gymnastics club whose walls are more worn out than the balance beam, apply now and help a project in your local community restore their premises. You can help give kids and the local community the facilities and the chance to become the best sportspeople they can.
