Community RePaint County Durham

Community RePaint is a UK wide paint reuse network, sponsored by Dulux, that aims to collect this leftover paint and redistribute it to benefit individuals, families, communities and charities in need at an affordable cost. The network is run on a day to day basis by Resource Futures, an environmental consultancy. The network is made up of over 65 schemes that vary in size, operational set up and motivational drivers but all have the same vision to create communities where everyone has the opportunity to brighten their spaces and their lives.

Our scheme in County Durham, run by County Durham Furniture Help Scheme, joined the network in 2011. They collect paint locally from traders, retailers and manufacturers and also accept donations of non-hazardous, usable paint from householders. Paint is available for individuals and groups to purchase at £1.50 per litre.
