BUILDING society workers swapped the office for the outdoors when they painted the railings in front of Skipton Parish School and Nursery on Brougham Street.

Staff from Skipton Building Society have two days every year to volunteer and are expected to match this with two days of their own time.

A team from the Decision Support department contacted Craven Volunteer Centre for a potential list of projects and chose to help the schools spruce up their frontage.

The team enjoyed working together on the project and are looking forward to taking on a new task sometime in the future
