In East Yorkshire, Nick and the DIY SOS team step in to help a youth club that has lost its home – and this time, they’re joined by the Gladiators. The Cherry Tree Community Centre once gave local children a warm, safe place to play, make friends and find support. But when the pandemic hit, their building was turned into a food pantry, now helping more than 150 families every week. Nearly five years on, the youth club has nowhere permanent to go, meeting in the local park with nothing but a small gazebo for shelter.

With another bitter winter on the way and the club close to shutting for good, the DIY SOS team, aided by muscle, humour and heart from the Gladiators, take on the challenge of creating a new, purpose-built youth centre on the edge of the park. With only nine days to turn an empty patch of grass into a welcoming home, the pressure is huge. Expect mud, chaos and a massive show of community spirit as Beverley comes together to give its young people a place they can finally call their own.
