Mmm... Thanks! Lovely token of appreciation from o Mmm... Thanks! Lovely token of appreciation from one of our volunteers from #royalmencapsociety #e17
Recently we get a lot of offers from lovely people Recently we get a lot of offers from lovely people who want to donate #paint to us so we just like to remind everyone that we DON'T ACCEPT PAINT DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS. We do appreciate your environmental concerns but the best course of action is to take your unwanted paint to your local council-run recycling centre. If the paint is reusable, it will make its way to us. We collect paint from recycling centres in East London and sometimes further afield. And please, never leave paint by our doors when we are closed! Thank you for being considerate 😊
Please remember that from tomorrow #facemasks are Please remember that from tomorrow #facemasks are compulsory in shops (for customers, not staff). Please be kind and wear one when you visit us in our outlets in #Walthamstow and #Leytonstone, unless you have a condition that exempts you from wearing a mask. By the way, in our Walthamstow shop we also stock beautiful #handmade face masks from #fabrics rescued from the landfill 😊

#Facemasks will soon be obligatory not only for pa #Facemasks will soon be obligatory not only for passengers on public transport but also for customers in shops. Why not treat yourself to a beautiful #handmade #facemask from #recycled #fabrics? We've got masks for sale in our shop in #Walthamstow open every Friday (£5 for an adult mask and £3 for a child mask), lovingly made by @elizabeth.salazar.guerra
Have you ever thought what happens to banners afte Have you ever thought what happens to banners after elections and how much junk comes from political leafleting and advertising? 🙁 Well, the good news is that most things can be #repurposed and #upcycled! 🍃 Supporters of one of the candidates in the first round of the recent presidential elections in Poland had an awesome idea. Although their candidate came third (hence didn't get to the second round), he was one of the greener ones in the race so no wonder that his supporters didn't want to add to the ever-growing pile of waste... And voila! Shopping bags came into being! How do you like the idea? Would you carry your groceries in a bag featuring your favourite politician or your referendum choice? 😉 Idea&photo credit: @ekipaszymona.lodzkie #gogreen #recycling #upcycling #repurposing #ekipaszymona #InspirationFromAbroad
We finally have good news - we are reopening on We We finally have good news - we are reopening on Wednesday 17 June and can't wait to see you again! Please note that we have revised opening times for foreseeable future: The Warehouse at The Sidings, Leytonstone is open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 am till 4.30 pm and The Paint Place at 2c Bakers Avenue in Walthamstow is open Fridays from 10 am till 4.30 pm only. You will want us to have planned for your safety (and our team’s) - and we have. Please note that we have new social distancing policies in place and ask you to keep everyone safe by keeping at 2m distance from everyone else.  At the Warehouse, we are going to serve you at the entrance, bringing you whatever you need - please queue up (with distancing) outside if necessary and we will come to you.  At The Paint Place, we are letting two customers in at once - please kindly queue outside if necessary and use the available hand sanitiser when you come in.  We would also kindly ask you to try and come without your friends and family - although we understand, of course, that choosing paint often requires consultation, we really want to try to avoid large numbers of people on the premises, and to serve you all with what you need as quickly as possible. We’re reopening with the paint supplies that we had at the start of lockdown, with only some new arrivals. We’ll get more in and soon as we’re able. We’re quite low on whites, but have lots of lovely colours, so you might like to come with a few ideas about what would work for you. Last but not least - you are warmly welcome to purchase paint and fabrics, as well as different handmade trinkets we offer (bat boxes, anyone?) but sadly, we are still out of scaffolding boards. (So if, by any chance, you have some contacts in the scaffolding industry, please send us a lead!). See you soon! The FRP Team

But Earth still counts on us, our hearts, our common sense and frankly... our desire to survive and thrive. Because without Her, we won't. #EnvironmentDay #ForNature 🌳🌴🐳🍄🐙🌵🌍
Hello Friends! As you may know, we're now in the p Hello Friends! As you may know, we're now in the process of creating a gardening Tool Library in Priory Court in Walthamstow and we're on a lookout for good quality #gardening #tools. If you could help us with is - either as a private person or as a company - please reach out to Greg: greg@frpuk.org. The other thing we're lacking at the moment is #scaffolding boards! We were meant to receive a supply just before the lockdown but it didn't work out due to the situation. And as requests pile up in our mailboxes, we are keen to find new leads. Do you know of any building companies who are happy to go green and find a new home for their used scaffolding? Please point us in their direction, emailing either greg@frpuk.org or info@frpuk.org. Thanks a million! #powerofcommunity
