We have coined ‘Colours for a Cause’ as a place to share our collective efforts towards meaningful impact through the donation of our plant-based paint.

Spanning a diverse spectrum of initiatives, ranging from community-centric projects, both local and further afield, arts-based, but also medical research and health charities that breathe life into local neighbourhoods for worthy causes.

Our commitment to ‘Colours for a Cause’ represents more than a partnership; it symbolises a shared commitment to the pursuit of a brighter (and colourful!), more compassionate future for all. As we take on this journey of purpose-driven action, we stand firm in our resolve to leave a note of kindness and generosity.

Hackney Night Shelter has worked with the local community in Hackney to provide shelter and support to homeless people for over 25 years, providing year-round emergency shelter with plans to assist them to move into longer-term accommodation. 

The shelter previously operated out of community spaces around Hackney (churches, halls, and schools) but as of January 2023 a new space was offered to them but the space required refurbishment and reconfiguration. 

It was at the end of 2022, London-based architecture studio Pilbrow and Partners reached out to us and we were really pleased to help and donate our natural paint for this project. Pilbrow and Partners along with Hackney Night Shelter felt us to be a suitable fit, aiming to create a functional space where design and sustainability are not compromised. 

Working within an industry where home is such a strong focus, it resonated with us to work alongside Hackney Night Shelter to provide a warm and safe sanctuary for Hackney’s homeless guests using uplifting, natural colours in communal areas for socialising, bedrooms and bathrooms.

Run solely by volunteers and provides year-round emergency shelter to get them back on their feet and assist them in moving into longer-term accommodation.

We were able to not only donate paint to help this shelter but also donate leftover paint using up old unwanted tins of various colours. The colour schemes were centered around three spaces – bedrooms to be primarily white with accentuates of deep green and datums of pale blue, so for this space, our ‘Plain White’ was used and the accents, our nursery blue colour ‘Lucca’, ‘Light Olive Green’ and ‘Fair Blue’ used. The social spaces were painted in ‘Plain White’ as well as ‘Silver White’, with accentuates of orange and yellows so here ‘Dutch Orange’, our deep red and richly pigmented ‘Sang de Boeuf’ was used as well as ‘Naples Yellow’.

Finally the circulation to be primarily white with accentuates of pink, purple and green so our nursery colour ‘Jesse’, purple ‘Laylock’ and emerald, green ‘Verdigris’ decorated. 

The injection of accent colours has transformed the space adding lots of joy, life and soul to this shelter space.

A UK charity established in 2020 by Bunny Turner and Emma Pocock of their eponymous interior design studio Turner Pocock. Bunny and Emma’s mission with the charity is ‘To find the gaps and use our skills and network to fill charitable spaces with great design’. As a response to the pandemic, TP caring spaces set to work to benefit and give back to the frontline workers, carers and pillars of the community. As well as working with organisations from big to small, offering comfortable design and wisdom to create homely sanctuaries for members of staff, nurses. Providing them with well-designed spaces for communities to thrive.

The belief that comfort is key to recuperation, redesigning homes for cancer patients, nurseries for children and to bring joy to utilitarian spaces.

Turner Pocock chose ‘Vert de Mer’ and ‘Silver White’ and painted stripes to create an inviting and fun space. The work of the refuge and all the team who volunteer and work there is so heart affirming; with paint donated by us and children’s books and fabrics from other companies, TP created a true haven. 

We loved working with this wonderful charity and were delighted to provide paint for this incredibly worthy cause, offering no toxic and healthy environment and the use of colour in a more emotional way to create serene and safe spaces.

With the UK ranking 189th globally in biodiversity and 41% of its animal species in decline, Heal Rewilding aims to reverse this trend by restoring habitats and supporting endangered species. They aspire to become the first rewilding landowner in the UK, contributing to climate change mitigation and enhancing societal well-being by emphasizing the importance of green spaces.

In line with their commitment to environmental sustainability and harmony with nature, Heal Rewilding has taken a further step by revamping their office space. They opted for our ‘Granite Green’ 20%. This decision reflects their dedication to promoting eco-friendly practices not only in their land rewilding efforts but also in their everyday operations, demonstrating a holistic approach to conservation and environmental stewardship.

Nestled in the heart of the UK, The Garden Museum stands as a unique tribute to the rich history of gardening. As the sole museum dedicated to this cherished tradition, it serves as a beacon for British artists, gardeners, creatives, and scientists alike. Beyond its walls, the museum extends a warm invitation to the community, offering workshops that delve into the intricate tapestry of art, culture, and horticulture.

From botanical art to culinary exploration, and literary pursuits to hands-on gardening experiences, The Garden Museum sparks curiosity and cultivates a deeper appreciation for the wonders of nature.

In 2021, we proudly supplied paint colours of ‘Spanish White’, ‘Silver White’, ‘Plain White’ and ‘Olympian Green’ for the Constance Spry exhibition, curated by Edward’s dear friend, Shane Connolly. This year, we eagerly anticipate collaborating once more for ‘Gardening Bohemia: Bloomsbury Women Outdoors’. These exhibitions not only showcase the intersection of art and nature but also embody our shared commitment to preserving and celebrating our botanical heritage.

Embarking on one of our ‘on the paint road’ journeys, we ventured to the esteemed Manchester Art Gallery. While beautiful paint serves as the perfect backdrop for domestic spaces, its significance extends far beyond home interiors, particularly in public spaces like museums and art galleries.
