The new building sited in Seacroft will provide a much-needed safe space for vulnerable girls and young women
. Nick Knowles and his team of builders, project managers and volunteers will head to Seacroft to take on one of their biggest challenges yet and build a brand-new home for Leeds-based charity Getaway Girls.
Before taking on the project, Nick Knowles, Presenter of BBC One’s DIY SOS said: “We have another huge build ahead of us in Leeds, which will make a real difference to the lives of girls and young women who are supported by Getaway Girls. 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.”
Getaway Girls also works with those facing a variety of different challenges and barriers in their lives: from newly arrived refugees to girls who have experienced domestic violence, exploitation or sexual abuse.
