DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland is back - looking to help 4 deserving families ….

DIY SOS: The Big Build is a heart-warming, inspirational series for RTÉ ONE. Deserving families facing difficult personal circumstances, who need help to improve their quality of life, get a significant home renovation – all delivered by the goodwill of trades, suppliers, contractors and the community.

DIY SOS: The Big Build brings out the very best in people. In every episode an army of volunteer builders, labourers, trades, suppliers, friends and neighbours come together - giving their time, labour and materials free gratis - to help a family in real need.

Baz Ashmawy and the team want to hear from families across the country who may be struggling to cope with a devastating illness or life-changing condition, who need help to rebuild their homes. We can hopefully help to transform their lives in the process.

DIY SOS: The Big Build showcases Ireland’s incredible community spirit. It quietly celebrates the generosity, dedication and pure altruism of big-hearted volunteers and suppliers, all who work tirelessly to help change someone’s life in a very tangible way – by making their house a home again.

If you think we can help you - or if you know someone who you feel deserves to be helped, please email the team at [email protected] asap

Please note that homeowners must own their own home to be considered for build or renovation projects.
