Ref. 73166-05Big-hearted Barclays Bank employees swapped their pens for paintbrushes on Saturday when they redecorated a youth centre.

The seven volunteers gave up their free time to repaint the Thames Youth Hall in High Street, Cricklade as part of CSV's Make a Difference Day.

Organiser Nicola Arthurs from Barclays, said: "We hope that by swapping our pens and suits for paint and overalls for a day, we can really make a significant improvement to the inside of the hall.

"Many local community groups use the facility on a regular basis and we hope a fresh lick of paint will make the world of difference."

Organised by CSV, Make A Difference Day was aimed at encouraging people to think about how they could support their communities by carrying out voluntary work.
