One of the leading principles of our company is a dedication to helping local and worthwhile<strong> <\/strong>causes. It fits nicely alongside our commitment to high-quality products and achieving complete customer satisfaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s especially exciting when all these principles are able to come together. Recently, we sent some of our team to visit a number of charities and organisations around Kent to assist with their DIY needs. We were able to donate a wealth of free paints, oils and preservers, as well as offering doses of our expert advice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Charities and Organisations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A large number of our product donations went towards treating and finishing interior and exterior surfaces, with the type of material mainly consisting of wood. The organisations were even kind enough to give our team a tour around each location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.demelza.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\nDemelza Children\u2019s Hospice<\/a> &#8211; Sittingbourne<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Demelza Children\u2019s Hospice in Sittingbourne features a number of exterior buildings, with fencing and cladding prominent. The highly protective nature of our oils is especially helpful to their huge, wooden children\u2019s play area and ensures playtime comes without unnecessary headaches and repairs, while a splash of paint also works to add a positive touch of vibrancy and colour to the location. Oh to be a kid again.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wood-finishes-direct.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/demelzahouse.png\" target=\"_blank\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wood-finishes-direct.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/demelzahouse.png\" alt=\"wfd-demelza-house\" class=\"wp-image-10557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wood-finishes-direct.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/demelzahouse.png 600w, https:\/\/www.wood-finishes-direct.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/demelzahouse-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wood-finishes-direct.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/demelzahouse-80x60.png 80w, https:\/\/www.wood-finishes-direct.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/demelzahouse-551x420.png 551w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/menssheds.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\nKent Sheds<\/a> &#8211; Paddlesworth&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Kent Sheds is a brilliant charity that\u2019s based on the International Men\u2019s Sheds model.
