ANDREW Brown from Congleton has been brushing up on his artistic skills by helping to brighten up a family centre.

Andrew has been working hard with fellow trainees from the Co-operative Insurance Society.

The seven trainees used a jungle design as the basis for murals they created at the Woodhouse Park Family Centre.

The centre is in Wythenshawe, Manchester, and the project was a Greater Manchester Cares community challenge which the team undertook as part of their training programme.

The jungle design incorporates drawings by the children who attend the centre.

CIS is a lead sponsor for the community challenge, which matches volunteers from companies involved to practical challenges in the local community.
