BBC's DIY SOS has announced it will be coming to the North East next month and has issued a call out to North East tradespeople and suppliers to get involved.
Nick Knowles and his team are returning to the region aiming to transform a derelict building into a fully-inclusive performing arts school in Wallsend. North Tyneside charity True Colours Theatre has been given the keys to a run-down building with no electricity, heating, natural light or disabled access and they have limited funds to renovate it.
The charity is an inclusive theatre school for children and young people who live in the North East of England. The majority of its 500 members have additional needs such as autism, ADHD, anxiety disorders, physical and life limiting conditions and various mental health issues.
