The refurbishment of an old bank into a fabulous new centre
for the homelessness charity, Crisis, has now been completed thanks in part to
the ongoing support from Brewers Colindale.
The store has been donating paint for the Skylight Brent
centre for around two years as their decorating progressed.
For the last stage, the branch donated 100 litres of colour
matched Albany and Dulux finishes plus some woodcare to decorate the rear
stairs, kitchen, shower corridor, interview suites, garden room and paint the
roof/skylights with reflective paint to reduce heat.
Administration and Facilities Manager for Crisis, Justin
Salmon, said: “Your donation worked immediately to reduce heat in the communal
spaces, which everyone was very happy about. Members commented on how bright
and new the area felt and your support galvanised us to look at how else we can
improve the area.”
“Thank you once again for all your personal help and the
continued support Colindale give us. It makes us feel valued within our
community and is a morale booster for us and those we work with.”
Branch Manager, Mo Khammal, said: “It is such a nice
building now. I have been following the refurbishment from when it was just a
shell, midway through and then finished so I have watched it be transformed.”
“There was a real need for the centre in this location. I’m
from this area so it’s meant a lot to be involved with it and I am so happy to
give something back to the community. I’m really grateful that Brewers have
given it so much support.”
Area Development Manager, Faye Addison, added: “We have been
supporting this for a long time and it’s great to see it, now it has been
completed. They have completely reconfigured the building into a lovely space
with craft rooms, consultation rooms and a garden.”
Crisis is the national charity dedicated to ending
homelessness in the UK and Brewers have had a close relationship with them for
a number of years, including helping with the redecoration of their flagship
service centre, London Skylight.
