Gerflor donates flooring to Blackburn charity as part of BBC DIY SOS project

DIY SOS and BBC Children in Need embarked on a truly challenging build, for the young homeless, whom are supported by local Blackburn charity, Nightsafe. Blackburn with Darwen is one of the poorest Boroughs in the country, there may be dozens of young homeless on the streets nightly. Young homeless people are often overlooked, vulnerable and so very much in need of help. Across the UK tens of thousands of young people are sleeping rough or in temporary accommodation each year - it's a growing problem that needs addressing.

Thankfully, the build was also supported by multiple faiths, as the trade took on the heavenly task of converting an old church hall, into a brand-new home for six young homeless people.
