The Women's Aid safe house in the Island is now a much brighter and cheerful place thanks to the efforts of staff members from Royal Bank of Scotland International.
They undertook a special project under the auspices of the Bank's 'Get Your Hands Dirty' scheme.
Under the programme, staff members can nominate worthwhile initiatives and those chosen, benefit from ?1,000 of finance from RBS International's community investment.
Product Marketing Manager Jo Corkill, one of the organisers, says 'Women's Aid is a little known charity which provides long and short-term accommodation for women and children who may otherwise have nowhere else to go, having escaped an abusive relationship.
The team from RBSI painted a playroom, installed a DVD player and a new blind. They also provided new toys and pictures and a desk where children can do their homework.
