Story
Whilst on site at a DIY SOS project in Chislehurst, South-East London in October 2018, Billy's van was broken into and all his tools stolen. There will be uninsured losses & damage. Some of his tools date back fifty years and have sentimental value that simply can't be replaced.
Billy is a stalwart of the DIY SOS team and as they do SO much good work for the community this is an opportunity for us to thank them in a meaningful way.
(Any excess raised will be donated to registered charities nominated by Billy!)

6 years agoHuge thanks to everyone who has donated! It turns out a second fundraiser was started simultaneously (on a different platform) for the same reason & between us we have now reached the £1000 we set out to raise. Having spoken to Nick Knowles I am assured that £1000 will be sufficient to sort Billy's uninsured losses out (as he has also had several offers of replacement tools from companies too) and so I am now closing this appeal. Thank you all again! It really is appreciated by the whole DIY SOS team!
