WORCESTER’S mayor helped re-paint the hall and kitchen at a sheltered accommodation site.

Mayor Lucy Hodgson joined other volunteers on Friday as part of the Make a Difference day.

Together they painted the areas in Langdale Close, Warndon, Worcester.

Organiser Stephen Hornberger said: “The areas were starting to get dirty and needed lifting and brightening up.

“It has made a big difference.”

The day was part of an annual volunteering event which saw projects organised across the country. Paint and materials were donated by West Mercia Police.
