On a roll
6 GoodGymers made their way to help the Thames Reach in Lambeth.

An office room in the hostel needed painting to give it a brighter/lighter feel as the current paint was a mixture of some old cream in some parts and striking green and blue paint in others. Another group of GoodGym volunteers prepped the walls in the room a couple of days before, so when we got there we just needed to get painting. We had a load of paint, rollers and brushes to use and decided to start with the back wall and make our way towards the window side to finish. Over an hour later and just when we thought we were finished, we were asked to paint the ceiling too as there were some brown/discoloured parts which now looked quite obvious next to the new white walls. A quick 10 minute power rolling was enough to cover the ceiling in a lick of paint and get it looking closer in colour to the walls. The room could probably do with another coat of paint but we were pretty chuffed with the end result considering what it looked like before!
