The Big Build - Stoke

The team help a charity in Stoke to create a community centre and garden. The build turns into a battle against the elements, with three of the worst storms to hit Britain in recent years.

Sue’s family have lived in Fegg Hayes, Stoke, for six generations. To help tackle issues of food poverty, isolation and mental health in the area, she set up a charity, Sylvester’s. They have taken over a patch of wasteland in the heart of the community with the aim of creating a community centre and garden with room to grow vegetables and space where old and young can share knowledge and experiences.

Nick Knowles, the DIY SOS team and designer Sian Astley are determined to get the job done, and not even three of the worst storms to hit Britain in recent years are going to stop them. A straightforward build turns into a battle against the elements, but they are keen to help this community to help themselves.
