We'd like to thank Sainsbury's staff and shoppers, and of course the volunteers from Sidney Stringer for their generosity and help!

On Friday 13th February, Coventry 4 Good Painted it Pink! To mark Valentine’s Day, Coventry 4 Good volunteers celebrated at our Volunteer Shop by making friendship cards, painting a pair of beautiful canvas artworks, and raising money for Coventry 4 Good with a prize tombola.
We were delighted to be joined by students from Sidney Stringer Academy who had previously made hearts for our window display, and took part in the activities on the day, including research with members of the public about what they love about Coventry.
The canvases were painted with brightly coloured messages and motifs, expressing people’s feelings about Coventry and about love and friendship, and will be displayed in the windows of the Volunteer Shop window during March.
We’d like to thank everyone who took part and who helped to make the day such a success!
