I am a governor at both Gorefield and Murrow School. This is a mural I created with recycled paint from Repaint. The wall was prepared by brushing loose dust off, applying a bleach solution and allowing to dry before using masonry paint for sky and basic ground areas. Other recycled acrylic based paint were used to add the things pupils had drawn or listed. Brushes, cloths and sponges were used to apply the paints. Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions only my grandson (at the time the youngest pupil in school) was able to help on one or two occasions. Final details were added with acrylics from my own paint collection.

It is signed Klucky……a nod to Banksy who one class had been studying. The school dog, Pippin, is near the sign post which points towards the linked school at Murrow. Pupils enjoy spotting all the birds, animals, flowers and local landscape features.

I love to inspire others to try new things and I share with the other volunteers activities they might like to do with their groups. Here are a few experiments I have underway that you might like to try out too: 

Feel inspired to make a change? Why not start by becoming a Getting It Sorted Volunteer? You can learn about events going on in your area, facts about recycling and ways in which you can help tackle waste. To sign up and for more information visit www.fenland.gov.uk/volunteers.

And remember, every action however big or small makes a difference!
