MANCHESTER, UK — HMG Paints recently announced that it is continuing its support of the Minutes Matter Campaign, alongside the British Coatings Federation (BCF) and its members. The campaign has seen HMG Paints and other paint companies donate paint to the conversion of iconic red telephone boxes into lifesaving defibrillator stations.
Community Heartbeat Trust and BT have been working together with rural communities to turn disused telephone boxes into Community Public Access Defibrillator sites or cPADs. The BCF’s paint manufacturer members have stepped in to help preserve these iconic structures in communities, by arranging the donation of free paint and undercoat for renovation.
