Supporting DIY SOS
In 2022, our Civils Engineering team were able to jump on board to help out with BBC DIY SOS Children in Need Big Build and put in the final touches for charity Getaway Girls in Leeds, to ensure they could open the doors to their brand-new headquarters.
Getaway Girls has been providing support and empowering girls and young women in Leeds for over 30 years – building confidence, resilience and raising aspirations. When a local developer gifted them land in Seacroft, BBC DIY SOS, the local community and an army of tradespeople dug deep to complete the build – our team of experts were called in to oversee the laying of the new wastewater pipes.
BBC’s Producer of DIY SOS: The Big Build, Bel Weaver said:
Thank you once again for all your hard work and generosity, we’re delighted with how the programme has turned out and hope you all enjoy watching too. The charity is over the moon with their new building which will allow them to do even more good work with the girls and young women of Leeds in a safe and secure space that meets all their needs.
Avove Site Supervisor, Jonny Eyre, said:
As a team, we were thrilled to be involved in the DIY SOS Big Build for Children in Need supporting Getaway Girls in Leeds and thank Avove for allowing us the time to work on the project which has delivered a much-needed new building for the charity.
