Today we can be a little more open about what we've been up to at GoodGym Exeter. the last 11 days we've teamed up with DIY SOS to help rebuild a family home. Today was the final reveal to the family and a packdown of the site. We cant share pictures of the house itself until after the TV show airs, but we were so proud to be part of it! You have to believe us for the time being in that the house transformation was stunning, and the family were overcome with joy when they saw it. We've truly helped to change their lives.

We worked with a core group of volunteers from RE:ACT as well as 150 other trades and businesses, and formed an unstoppable army. We got properly stuck in, getting muddier and wetter than we've ever been. We helped solve problems, guve logistic support, and so much work inside the house and garden! A huge thanks to everyone who got involved. GoodGym Exeter gave over 100 hours of time to the project!

Here are the pics we can share! The hope is that the show will air on BBC within 12 months.
