Walsall Training Centre Lend A Hand On The BBC's DIY SOS.
 
When Walsall Training Centre were approached by the producers of the popular BBC TV design program DIY SOS to ask if we would be willing to assist with a local project at the home of a Wolverhampton couple, Paul and Pauline Whitehouse, and their 6 children, 1 of whom, Laura, has Down's Syndrome, and including twins who both have learning difficulties, we were only too glad to say yes, and offer our services to the DIY SOS team and the Whitehouse family.
 
Training Centre Manager Steve Edis said "We were only too pleased to help out. The whole experience of filming the show was brilliant, and one that we'll never forget. We were only to happy to give up our time to this more than worthwhile project, and hope that the family were pleased with the over all outcome of the project".

Accompanied by a number of clients from the centre, who were studying for their BPEC Gas Foundation qualifications, the WTC team

gave an helping hand through out the project which included the installation of a brand new fitted kitchen, the installation of a new central heating system, and the addition of a brand new ground floor shower room which was purpose built for the use of the couples daughter Laura. Training Centre Manager Steve Edis went on to say; " The addition of the new ground floor shower room will benefit Laura and the rest of the family immensely, it's amazing how much difference small changes to the home can make for a family such as the Whitehouse family".
 
 
     
  The programme was filmed for DIY SOS Series 16, and was aired on BBC One on Friday 15th August 2008 at 8:30pm.
