A TRAFFORD animal sanctuary has received a makeover, thanks to the Dulux Decorator Centre in Altrincham.

Paint was donated to the Society for Abandoned Animals as part of the Manchester Road company’s Colouring the Community scheme.

It enabled sanctuary staff to brighten up a recently refurbished farm building, which will be used for re-homing cats.

They also transformed a cabin into an on-site shop, at their base off Dane Road, Sale.

Sally Laffan, fundraiser, said: “The paint donation has really enabled us to make the sanctuary a brighter and more pleasant environment for the animals, as well as its visitors. We rely on generous companies like Dulux Decorator Centres and we are extremely grateful to them for all the help we have been given.”
