🔍 CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT - Fresh colour, rescued paint

🔗 **Supporting local, reusing what’s already here*

🔗 **Supporting local, reusing what’s already here** ♻️
@wpwakefield
We recently needed a few washers and hooks for a chain barrier across the stairs at our warehouse, so rather than looking further afield, we popped to our local hardware shop, **W.P. Wakefield in Leyton**.
Wakefield is a **family-run local business**, and we love supporting businesses in our community whenever we can. Shopping locally helps us support the local economy, build connections and keep our spending closer to home. 💚
But there was another little detail we loved… 👀
Our purchases were wrapped in **old newspapers**! 📰
Wakefield have been reusing old newspaper to wrap their products since they first opened, giving something that might otherwise be thrown away another use.
As an environmental charity, **reuse is at the heart of what we do at FRP**, so we were delighted to see this simple, practical example of reuse happening right on our doorstep.
It might just be a few washers and hooks, but we think these small choices add up.
**Shop local. Reuse where you can. Support your community. 🌱**
📍 **W.P. Wakefield**
680–682 Lea Bridge Rd
London E10 6AP

🌿 Got a fence project coming up? Don’t buy everything you need — borrow it! 🛠️🎨
At Forest Recycling Project, you can pick up reclaimed paint for your fence and borrow the tools you need from the Walthamstow Tool Library.
🪣 RECLAIMED PAINT
We have a great selection of reclaimed garden and fence paints in different colours and finishes — giving perfectly good paint a second life while saving you money.
🛠️ BORROW YOUR FENCE-BUILDING TOOLS
Need a post-hole digger, post rammer, drill, saw or other tools for your project? Borrow instead of buying something you might only use once!
💚 JOIN THE WALTHAMSTOW TOOL LIBRARY
Membership gives you access to a whole collection of tools for DIY, repairs, gardening and home projects.
Instead of spending money on tools that will sit in the shed, borrow what you need, use it, and return it for someone else to use.

🪵 Scaffold Board Update
We're not taking scaffold board orders at present.
📧 We'll respond to all enquiries mid August.
We're hoping to start fulfilling orders again from late August / early September, depending on board supply.
Need boards before then?
📍 Visit the warehouse to buy in person Tuesdays to Thurdays. We also usually have a small selection available in the shop on Fridays & Saturdays.
🪚 Need to sand your boards? Join WTL and borrow one of our sanders as part of your membership. We've added extra sanders this week, so it's a quicker and more affordable option than buying one. Plus, you'll get access to 600+ tools for a whole year.
Thanks for bearing with us while we work through demand. 💛

🎙️ New podcast episode alert!
We joined host Catherine Weetman to chat all things circular economy — and we brought reinforcements! Greg Dickson and Penny Gunn dropped by to share the story behind our Green Champions Programmes 🌱
These free 10-week courses in carpentry and textiles have helped over 600 people since we started — building skills, confidence, wellbeing and job prospects along the way 💪🧵🪚
Catherine helps businesses do more with less through circular, regenerative and fair solutions — so it was the perfect chat about how reclaimed paint, wood and textiles can power real community change here in Waltham Forest.

How did we turn this 🎨 into this ♻️?
Every tin has a story.
The paint you see on our shelves started as leftover paint collected from local recycling centres. Instead of going to waste, we inspect every tin, sort it, prepare it for reuse and give it a second chance.
The result? Affordable, quality paint that's ready for your next project while helping reduce waste.
Every tin you buy helps keep perfectly usable paint out of the waste stream. 💚
