A PARTINGTON community centre was given a free £5,000 makeover thanks to the UK’s largest painter and decorator firm.

The Bell Group got their brushes out to touch up The Fuse ROC Centre, a key £5 million resource offering meeting rooms, recording and dance studios, IT suites, a £G football pitch and 300-seat theatre.

Your Housing approached the group to provide a spruced-up atrium, which Bell Group decided to do free of charge.

“The atrium is quite a big space, but it was beginning to look a bit tatty,” explained Bell Group contracts manager, Ken Worsnip.

“The job took seven days and we supplied all the paints, equipment and cherry pickers. We decided to do it for free because of how much The Fuse benefits the community.”
