Volunteer builders fix home of 93-year-old former bricklayer

Available for over a year

Volunteer builders have repaired the bungalow of a 93-year-old man who can no longer maintain his own home. Former bricklayer Tom Knapper from Bucknall in Staffordshire built it himself in 1970, but was recently diagnosed with cancer, suffered two heart attacks and has arthritis. He called on charity Band of Builders to help and they worked on his central heating, plumbing and garage roof. BBC Radio Stoke's Bongi Msimanga went to see Tom and Lee Blakeman spoke to Martin,O'Donnell one of the builders who gave up their time for free.
