Part 2 of our video series to celebrate reaching 100 members in the Community RePaint Network.
Here we showcase the incredible work of one of those members @sofaproject located in Bristol.
By integrating paint reuse into their other waste saving activities they've helped thousands of members of the local community.
As always, thanks to @duluxuk for the support.
Part 3/the full edit coming soon..

Here's how you can help us stop paint waste this year:
đź›’ Next time you need paint, visit your local Community RePaint scheme and buy paint that has been saved from unnecessary disposal.
â™»Instead of holding on to your leftover paint until it spoils, pass it on for reuse at one of our drop off points
🙋Your organisation or community group can join our network and bring paint reuse to your local area
đź—Ł Spread the word about paint reuse with your family and friend, or on your social media, so more and more people can benefit from preloved paint.

Thanks to a brilliant shout‑out from @clarehooper , more people are discovering how a tin of leftover paint
can be picked up at a BARGAIN price and be good for the planet too.

Felt compelled to share this, if you’re about to paint the garden this weekend, you’ll find this handy! (Or paint anything)
Paint recycling centres are one of those things more people should know about.
@communityrepaint connects loads of them, and I’ve saved £100’s using them.
Good for your bank balance and nothing goes to waste.
The hardest thing is leaving paint behindđź¤
Happy DIYing, Clare xxx
PS: This is my nearest @bradfordcommunityrepaint turns 25 this year can only imagine how many litres of paint saved🤯🤯🤯
🌱 World Earth Day reminds us why reuse matters.
Every tin of paint reused through Community RePaint helps prevent waste, and support local projects across the UK.
Thank you for being part of a more sustainable, community‑driven future. 🌍♻
