Set up a Community RePaint Scheme
If you are a community group, charity or local authority and would like to establish a new Community RePaint scheme and become part of the national Community RePaint network then please get in touch with Mark Gregory (Project Manager) for more information via email or by telephone on 0113 200 3951.
Alternatively please fill in and send us a copy of the technical support application form (this will tell us a little bit about yourself and your project so we can best advise you) via email or post. Click here for our postal address.
Resource Futures can provide a range of support to new schemes including:
• technical advice and practical support
• liaison with statutory bodies and local authorities
• staff training
• Community RePaint Technical Manual and quick start-up guide
• publicity materials
• advice on funding and income streams.
If your organisation is already collecting and redistributing paint from retailers or households then why not join the Community RePaint national network and become an “official” scheme. Resource Futures provides various services to the national network (free of charge) including:
• publicity for your scheme – inclusion on the website and listing on our Community RePaint database (used for handling enquires from the general public)
• lobbying government on behalf of the network.
• copies of a monthly e-zine.
• technical documents and advice.
• invitation to regional and national skillshares.
• links to other voluntary and community sector programmes and services.
• funding bids to eg the Lottery on behalf of the network.
• access to our ‘members only’ page on the Community RePaint website.
