Leyland SDM, which has 33 stores across the capital, provided a team of volunteers to spend a week carrying out work at All Saints C of E Primary School in Fulham during the summer holidays, as well as donating more than £2,000 of paint and other products and materials.

The volunteers focused their time on improving the stage area at the school – which has 203 pupils from nursery through to year six and is based on Bishops Avenue – as well as painting the corridors in the school’s traditional colour of green.

Kieran Gorman, head teacher at All Saints, said the work carried out by the Leyland SDM volunteers would make a significant difference.

He said: “We’re incredibly grateful for the work that the team from Leyland SDM has carried out for us over the summer, as well as the generous product donation.

“To see the corridors being painted in school colours brings a sense of pride and it will help when we welcome the children back to school.

“It’s also much more pleasant showing current and prospective parents a school which is bright and fresh rather than looking a little weary so we can’t thank Leyland SDM and their people enough.”

Around 15 colleagues from Leyland SDM attended the school during the volunteering week, including some from its Putney store based on Upper Richmond Road, with its Fulham Road store supplying materials throughout the week.
