Jills of all trades in the community

The Jills (BHC Volunteers) have been helping with redecorating a small area in a local resident's house which involved fitting new skirting boards prior to painting.

Using a mitre saw, they managed to achieve this with excellent results.

At the next session, they will assist with undercoating and glossing the wood in this room.

A great help to the service user who also took part!
