STAFF from Barclays Bank will be providing their own version of Changing Rooms meets Ground Force when they descend on Blackburn and Darwen as part of a community action programme.

The 28-strong team from the bank's IT centre in Cheshire will be completing challenges at four schools under the Make a Difference Day (MADD) sponsored by the bank.

At Intack Primary School they will be painting classrooms and at St Antony's, Shadsworth, the team will be setting up a new library. The project at St Aidan's, Norfolk Street, Blackburn, is to establish a new garden area and at Lower Darwen Primary a new outdoor learning centre is being installed with funding from Learning Through Landscapes.
