DIY SOS Nightsafe

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.

Several generous companies offered to donate time and materials to the project and when Gerflor, was
contacted by contractor Crown Flooring to see if we could help, we were delighted to be part of the journey. Gerflor donated approximately 270m2 of Creation 55 Dry Back LVT flooring for the main areas, including living space and bedrooms, and a further 16m2 of its Tarasafe Ultra H2O vinyl safety flooring for the bathrooms.

“Time was the biggest constraint because these types of projects need to be completed swiftly…we provided high performance flooring that we knew could be installed easily and quickly. The installed flooring is proven to be hard wearing in busy environments and the quality is outstanding. It’s the first time I’ve been involved with DIY SOS The Big Build and I am only too pleased that we were able to support this very worthy cause.”
