“If you have a trade, a skill, can spare some time to graft or can help us with materials then get in touch. It’ll be a blast.” The charity has been in operation for 35 years and began receiving support from BBC Children in Need in 2010. "We are so grateful to the whole DIY SOS team, Radio 2 and their presenters and, of course, BBC Children in Need for supporting us for 12 years - without their funding we wouldn't have been able to continue our work for this long and have the impact that we have done for girls and young women in Leeds over the years.
