TheBigPaint is a community-driven voluntary organisation dedicated to revitalising neighborhoods and strengthening connections through the power of color.
We offer FREE exterior painting services for a variety of buildings, bringing fresh life to schools, homes, community centers, and other vital spaces. Our mission is to build brighter communities—one brushstroke at a time.
The Big Paint idea was born one evening when a group of friends started talking about community and what we believed could improve the area we lived in and more importantly, lift up the feel and sense of ownership.
The Big Paint works with volunteers and corporates to help revitalise areas that need a fresh vibrant makeover. As a charity we could not change the face of the community without the support of the public!

What we paint…
Paint my Council House
Many people live in council houses on estates that can be almost colourless. The Big Paint is determined to brighten things up and will help council tenants gain local council permission to brighten up their community. Contact us and start your Big Paint.
Paint my Ex Council House
Anyone who owns a former council house is also eligible for The Big Paints service! Message us today and start your Big Paint journey.
Paint our community Building
There are thousands of community buildings and halls in need of some TLC and The Big Paint is happy to help. Scout huts, village halls, community centres… we have the paint for you!
