Downer give a HELPING HAND® working with the BBC DIY SOS Team on the program’s “Biggest Project to Date” to help Children in Need.

Downer Cladding Systems was chosen by BBC’s DIY SOS team in their most significant project to date, transforming a dilapidated youth centre in Liverpool for Children in Need. The one-off charity special known as ‘The Big Build’ recently aired on the BBC. The DIY SOS team, along with voluntary help worked in order to regenerate the Norris Green Youth Centre in North Liverpool. The centre is situated in one of the deprived areas of Liverpool and is known as a beacon of hope within the local community with 50 children and young people attending every evening, seven days a week. Originally built as an old boys club 52 years ago, the building resembles two aircraft hangers next to each other. Downer’s HELPING HAND® façade fixing system was used with Trespa Meteon panels in order to significantly transform the aged exposed aggregate finish of the building. The flexibility of Downer’s rapid-fix system made for a quick installation, covering not only concrete but timber finished areas of the building.
