šµ š„ šø š· It's a long way to the top (of the wall), if you wanna paint and roll (without a ladder). Of which we conveniently had two. Great. š¶ š¤ š¹ š
Lavender Hope is nestled in Deronda Estate in Tulse Hill, and its stellar volunteers are putting it on the MAP as the local community yoga, coffee party, tea dance, job hunt, homework club CLUBHOUSE. It will be a brilliant asset with their enthusiasm and passion poured in. But first, we had bucket loads of paint to POUR onto those walls. šŗš» š
Drum roll please for new runners Oliver and Diane who, for first timers, hit the wall, ran the metaphorical distance, and just kept rolling rolling rolling on. š
We all came out completely splatter free. Impressive. A nod perhaps to the fact that keeping things (be it peoples' faces, or paint rollers) at a good arms length (2 metre rule, no?), is pretty effective at evading splatter. Samantha said we jinxed it by revelling in our impressiveness - not true!
š¶ š¤ Smells like white spirit, š¶ š¤ it did not. Because it was water based paint so we didn't need any, Oliver informed us.
We'll be back next Wednesday with trainer Mark, for 'Paint and Roll, Part 2', as there is lots more to do to help get the hall ready for guests. š š¤
We want to be able to help people with training for qualifications or CV help and advice, basically vocational rehab. Additionally, a safe place for children to come to after school, with their parent's consent to come and either partake in after-school activities, e.g games, cooking. We would also like to signpost people who may be suffering from mental health issues and lastly benefit help utilizing turn2us and calling Universal credit. We are here to help people get back on their feet, with care and support.
