You need to work tidily. As painting will take place on a ladder, being confident working at hights is a requirement.

The Bramley Hill Day Centre is a welcoming, lively place where adults with physical and learning disabilities come to connect, take part in activities and feel part of a community. It’s part of The Garwood Foundation, a local charity that supports people of all ages with a wide range of disabilities through education, care and practical support. Volunteering to help paint the outside of the centre is a simple but powerful way to make a difference. A freshly painted building helps create a space that feels warm, cared for and inviting. It shows the people who come here each day that they matter and that we’ve taken time to make their surroundings feel cheerful and welcoming. You’ll be part of a team, working together on a clear task with visible results. It’s hands-on and practical, and you’ll be supported throughout. No experience needed, just a willingness to help, a bit of energy, and the ability to work with others. If you like the idea of making a real and immediate difference, meeting new people and doing something you can feel proud of, this is a great way to get involved.
