A Chester-based mural company has been praised for creating colourful murals for a charity.
Absolutely Design has painted a vibrant, bespoke mural for Stick 'n' Step, a cerebral palsy charity.
The mural, located at the charity's centre in Runcorn, Cheshire, was provided free of charge by the local company.
Sarah Smithson, interim CEO of Stick ‘n’ Step, appreciated the company’s efforts and contribution.
She said: "For some time we have been keen to brighten a long, white corridor along which our children walk daily.
"Thanks to Absolutely Design’s offer to design and paint a mural for us, we now have a brightly-coloured and re-invigorated space.
"Importantly, the fun images of children with cerebral palsy, just like them, moving happily along the corridor, is inspiring for them."

Stick ‘n’ Step work to enable, inspire and support children with cerebral palsy.
Its services are designed to help them with their mobility, self-confidence, and budding independence.
The children are assessed on their capabilities while constructing well-structured programmes that allow each child to succeed.
The charity provides these services for free and is reliant on fundraising.
They have centres in Wallasey, Wirral and Runcorn.
It lends support to children and young people, extending to their families up until the age of 25.
Graham Boyd, founder of Absolutely Design, expressed his delight at contributing to such a noble cause.
He said: "Stick ‘n’ Step does invaluable work and our company is delighted to have been able to help.
"The mural is a generic snapshot of the diversity and potential of the children and young people who come to Stick ‘n’ Step’s Runcorn centre.
"The wall art shows children going along the corridor – some being aided to walk and others in wheelchairs or walking independently.
"The aim is that the mural inspires and delights the children, as well as any staff and visitors."
The company operates nationwide, renowned for its stunning artwork, including 17 life-size murals in Chester’s new Northgate Market & Foodhall complex.
