free decorating offered by team from Youth Offending Service


Recommended Posts

The Youth Offending Service Community Reparation project offers a decorating service for charities, non-profit organisations, faith groups etc. The team is led by a professional painter and one or two trained adult volunteers, working alongside three or four young offenders. We have painted churches and community centres, Victim Support and Woodcraft Folk offices and are currently working with a Drug and Alcohol Project in Borough. We should be finished by Christmas and looking for new work. We are slow, as we can only work one day a week - Saturdays from 10-2 - but we do a good job. We only ask you to provide paint and some light refreshments for the young people. It is a great opportunity for young offenders to learn skills and give something useful back to the community. Please contact me if you would like some more information.


Best wishes, Deirdre Leask Community Reparation Manager, Southwark YOS

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
