An Irish provider of high-quality paint and paint accessories, has launched ‘Community Colours’, which aims to support and brighten local communities.
To mark its 75th anniversary, Fleetwood will donate up to €75,000 worth of paint to community groups and clubs across Ireland throughout the months of May and June, with up to €1,000 in paint available to each nominated group.
Building on the success of last year’s campaign, which saw €60,000 worth of paint given to communities across the country, Fleetwood is going bigger and bolder in 2025 – inviting even more community groups and clubs across Ireland to get involved. Whether it’s a community hall, sports club, scouts group, tidy towns, a Women’s or Men’s Shed, or a local association, Fleetwood encourages everyone to take part.
Taking part and nominating a club is completely free. Customers can support their chosen community group or sports club by purchasing any Fleetwood product, no matter the value. To nominate, simply scan the QR code found in Fleetwood stockists or on social media, then upload proof of purchase to put forward a deserving winner.
Derek Bryne, Marketing Manager at Fleetwood, explains the importance of the Community Colours initiative, saying: “We know that a fresh coat of paint can make a huge difference, whether it’s just brightening up a community center, giving a clubhouse a new lease of life, or refreshing spaces where people come together, and that’s why we’re inviting a wide range of community groups to take part. We believe that this campaign helps transform local communities, spaces that truly deserve it.”
Jacqueline Daly, from East Galway and Midlands Cancer Support Group, who received Fleetwood Paint last year, said: “The Community Colours initiative is incredible and we’re so grateful to Fleetwood. I would highly recommend all community services to apply. This has been absolutely fantastic for us, and it also means that we don’t have to put vital funds that we use to keep our doors open, into buying paint.”
Cillian Duff, a player with Glen Emmets GFC, said: “We were thrilled when we found out that we won €1,000 worth of Fleetwood paint through the Community Colours competition, which meant we didn’t have to fundraise for the paint needed to refresh our clubhouse. We used it for the stands, dugouts, and fence, and the place looks great now. The process was really simple. I highly recommend other clubs and communities to get involved..”
