AS primary schoolchildren abandoned their buildings for the half-term holiday, bank workers moved in.
A team from Barclays Bank set to work with paintbrushes to spruce up Hurst Primary School, Dorchester Avenue, Bexley.
The bank actively encourages its workers to undertake volunteer work and allows them a paid day off a year to do the work.
The bank workers were recruited to help the school through a parent who also works for the bank.
Workers from the Woolwich, now part of Barclays, were also getting their hands dirty at Frank Godley Court.
They planted bulbs and plants and put up a bird table at the sheltered housing complex, in Sidcup, as part of the national Make a Difference Day.
