DIY:SOS is one of those programmes that indulges my love of redecoration as well as tugging on the heart strings. Seriously, I cry like a baby. Everytime. And I am so very glad it is back on our screens with the big build.
For those of you who haven't seen it, DIY:SOS isn't like your ordinary home renovation show. They work specifically with families and people in need. From disabled children to activity centres, they work to help those who desperately need them. And that's why I think they are amazing. They are so focused on giving back, getting everyone from the community to come together, work together, bond and help someone they don't even know. It's magic.
In a world that is becoming increasingly more self involved, it is so lovely to see a programme solely focused on the needs of others doing so well.
Last week they featured a family living in a completely unsafe house, especially considering their baby son only had 2% of his brain. He was incredible. I was completely in awe of his abilities and his parents strength in making him the best little boy he could be. Their family had really struggled and DIY:SOS came along, not to change their lives, but to make them just a little bit easier.
And that's what they're there for; to make lives just a little bit better for those who really need it.
If you want to get involved, or if you need some help, go to https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006pnjk/contact to get involved. DIY:SOS shows on Thursdays at 8pm on BBC1.
I really do hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
