A TEAM of volunteers spent a day transforming disused land at a community centre into a patio and storage area.

Ebbsfleet Rainbow Centre, Rose Street, Northfleet, can now use the area for youth activities and for staff to sit in.

Volunteers laid a patio, cleared the rest of the garden and added a storage area.

Nine Barclays Bank employees were released from work for the day to complete the charity project.

They were allocated £500 from the company to complete the work.

Ebbsfleet Rainbow Centre's grants officer Barbara Dagger said: "We have never been able to use the area before."
