Nick Knowles, his normal crew, and his army of volunteers were heavily delayed on DIY SOS after their charity build in Stoke was bettered by storms. At times it looked like the project might not be possible at all.
DIY SOS: The Big Build was in Stoke, helping to build a space for the community that would help with issues including food poverty and isolation. Sue, a prominent member of the local community, set up the charity Sylvester to bring the community back together again.
Their aim was to transform a patch of wasteland into a community centre and garden, with room to grow vegetables and a space where old and young can share knowledge and experiences. DIY SOS stepped in to help but hit some big hurdles on the way.
