Milton Keynes charity wins Johnstone’s Competition
A
Milton Keynes-based charity has secured a brighter future for its learners after winning a national competition run by Johnstone’s Trade. MK Snap won the Johnstone’s Paint Community Spirit campaign after coming out on top by polling 34 per cent of 3,000 votes cast by the general public. And the charity – which caters for more than 100 learners and offers professional support to people with a range of learning difficulties and challenges – will now benefit from the expertise of leading paint manufacturer Johnstone’s, which will provide the labour and materials for a re-decoration makeover. Maureen McColl, chief executive of
MK Snap, said: “Everyone is absolutely thrilled to win the Johnstone’s Paint Community Spirit competition. “The centre has been open for seven years and hasn’t had any painting work done during that time so this will create a really colourful and vibrant environment for our learners throughout the whole building. “It’s going to make a real difference to the lives of our learners and I would like to pass on a huge thanks to Johnstone’s Paint and all the people who voted for MK Snap for their support.” More than 50 community projects originally entered the competition after being invited to submit applications by Johnstone’s.
Four projects were shortlisted, with MK Snap up against entries from Portsmouth, Preston and Dagenham in the public vote. MK Snap’s
quest to win the Johnstone’s Paint Community Spirit campaign has received backing from MK Dons
