Organisation Details
Ripley Endowed is a Church of England primary school that combines a rich historical heritage with a modern, forward-thinking approach to education. Located in the heart of Ripley, the school supports children’s development through a values-based curriculum underpinned by Christian ethos. By working closely with local partners and the RBK Federation, they provide a stimulating environment where pupils are encouraged to reach their full potential and contribute positively to their local and wider community.
Project Details
The school is seeking help in repainting worn down areas of the school. This will include:
- Preparing surfaces
- Filling any holes
- Painting walls
- Glossing woodworks
On-site support
On the day Participate will be providing a member of staff to support the volunteers. A trained first aider and first aid kit will be available during the challenge. A tools talk and health and safety briefing will be given by Participate at the beginning of the day. We will also share with you our completed Risk Assessment for your own records.
Preparation
Volunteers will be undertaking painting activities and are required to wear old and reasonably robust clothing that you will not mind getting paint on. We do offer paint overalls, although these do not guarantee no damage to clothing. We also require sensible sturdy footwear, avoiding heels and open toe footwear. Where personal protective equipment is required, it will be provided.
