Youth team puts on art masterclass

Britannia House, in Bury St Edmunds, is looking better than ever after Prince’s Trust Team 14 from West Suffolk College gave it a makeover.

Team 14 from West Suffolk College raised £500 through sponsored cycles, walks and a host of other activities to redevelop Britannia House. They fixed up the bike shed, games room, outside wall and as a final touch Steph Wilkie, 23, from Bury, painted a mural of Britannia on an outside wall.

She said:

I left school without any qualifications, but this has given me more confidence and I’ll leave with something to show for it.

Janet Wood, project manager at Britannia House, said tenants would make the most of the newly decorated spaces.
