I'm truly excited to see them go to such a great cause alongside
some great pieces by numerous other artists through Brandler Galleries.
The artwork was donated to furnish a renovated recreational room
for teenage carers, when they need a space to relax and have fun.

DIY SOS: Million Pound Build for BBC Children in Need.
This special DIY SOS is set to capture the nation's heart as Nick
and the team highlight the plight of the nation's 250,000 young carers
who care on a daily basis for their parents.
Blackpool Carers Trust provides limited out-of-school respite
and training activities as well as peer support for young carers,
and their current centre is bursting at the seams.

and their current centre is bursting at the seams.
The
Blackpool Carers Trust, which is supported with funding from
BBC
Children in Need, provides much-needed support to young carers
like
11-year-old Tyanna and ten-year-old Gracie who bathe and
generally care
for their ill mother, former nurse Suzanne who was
diagnosed with
osteoporosis, but also their dad Sean who is dealing with cancer.
The
Carers Trust has inherited a broken, enormous build
which sees a
dramatic reinvention of a huge overgrown garden
and run-down, neglected
building into an unrecognisable, inspiring
and colourful base for youths
with caring responsibilities.
It's all done in the cheeky DIY SOS
spirit which includes an attempt
on their very own 'most selfies in
three minutes' for a Guinness World Record!
