This is how some of the toilets looked before the work began

The toilets were top of the wish list as being an area that needed a bit of a makeover so BBC Voices Volunteer Co-ordinator, Cathy Bailey was first to roll her sleeves up.

'We wanted to show the spirit of the Voices project making a difference so the toilet project gave us something to create a bit of a colourful splash with,' said Cathy. And that's what we did - starting this Easter with the Junior Loos - a set of boys and a set of girls.

ICI Dulux Decorator Centre in Greenacres Road, Oldham provided us with some jazzy colours - a shocking pink scheme for the girls - which now looks like a more grown up powder room. Modern resin moulded seats with bubble patterns transformed the toilets - thanks to John Lewis.

The boys have a seaside theme with banana dream yellow and a bright orange. There are new orange and purple seats and some jazzy new tiling.

Cathy and the BBC Voices team would also like to thank Alex at Millennium Volunteers, the Plumbers from Stockport College, Wilkinsons, Focus Do it All, B&Q, Asda at Longsight for providing lunches and Tony and Peter who did most of the hard work.

The rest of the toilets are due to be completed at the end of May.
