In 2001, environmentalists and social entrepreneurs, Cat and Kate decided to rescue landfill sites in and around Leeds from the tons of unused paint that people throw away after they have painted their homes, shops, offices, dog kennels or warehouses. That marked the birth of Seagulls.

Seagulls is a hub of colour, creativity and people. We are home to a paint store, mosaic workshop, Refills shop, gallery space and most importantly the whole enterprise is under pinned by our successful volunteer program called We grow People.

Our enterprise is built from passion and spins around the 3 P’s

Planet, People, Profit

because there is no Planet B.
