Private Notes
Nick Knowles and the team travel to Hessle, East Yorkshire to transform the home of Darren Hudson, who was left paralysed from the waist down due to cauda equina syndrome, a spinal cord injury. After three months of hospital rehabilitation, Darren returned home to his family, but tragedy struck again eight days later when his wife Sarah died suddenly. Since that moment, Darren and his three sons have been living in emotional trauma, with the wheelchair-bound dad now the main carer for the family.
Nick Knowles meets 47-year-old Stuart in Torquay, who has progressive multiple sclerosis. Despite being six foot seven, he sleeps in a chair in the living room. His primary carer is his 73-year-old mother, Grandma Lin, who is completely blind, and walks across town every day to see to her son and her granddaughter Lauren's needs. Can the crack team of builders, plasterers and electricians help turn their lives around?
Nick Knowles and the team travel to Plymouth to meet the Morfey family, who sold their multi-level home and bought an old wrought-iron forge with the intention of renovating it for their two eldest sons, who have cerebral palsy. But when their daughter got leukaemia and moved miles away for treatment, supported by mum Tara, the family was torn apart. Now the house remains half-built, with no kitchen, hot water or living space. What the Morfeys need is a little help to bring the family back together.
This time, Nick Knowles and the team transforms a home in Bromsgrove. Karis, a 28-year-old woman who has cerebral palsy, currently lives with her mother, Karen, but now her own health is deteriorating and it is making caring for Karis almost impossible. The family have decided that Karis should move in with her older sister Jo, but her entire home is inaccessible for Karis, so the team decides to build a large two-storey extension to make the house more suitable.
The team transforms a home in Bolton, Lancashire for the Taylor-Mann family, making the house more suitable for nine-year-old William, who has severe autism. Williams's condition means that he is extremely hypersensitive to noise, and being in close proximity to his siblings is often just too much for him to bear. Nick Knowles and the team, with the help of kind volunteers, transform the property to create a quiet, calm space that can help William feel as comfortable as possible.
Nick Knowles and his team help the Newcombe family in Kent, who need to adapt their home to be able to care for their two-year-old son Arlo, who has condition that means his lungs must be constantly supported by breathing apparatus. Trailing breathing tubes, equipment the size of tumble dryers, and no downstairs bathroom have turned their once safe home into a risky space for the family. Nick and the team have amassed a huge group of volunteers for Arlo and the family, as they set to work creating a safe and inspiring space that Arlo and his family can call home.
