BIG-HEARTED workmen turned up on a family’s doorstep out of the blue to boost a disabled youngster with their own version of DIY SOS.

Plucky two-year-old Alexia Rose Sinclair, of Weeley, was born with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, which severely limits her movement and co-ordination.

Parents Emily and Toby have been working flat-out on fundraising for a hydrotherapy pool and home alterations to help their daughter’s development.

They were blown away on Saturday when a construction crew knocked on their door and said they wanted to help.

Len Giles organised the mission – described as a local version of TV’s DIY SOS. He said: “I know Emily from a club she used to work at and I saw the story with her daughter.

“I just got they guys together from work. We’re all bricklayers for the same company and they were all up for giving me a hand.”

The crew was made up of Len, Paul Haynes, Tel Brazier, Paul Errington, Gary Sage, Chris Wallace, Jordan Georgiou and Bradley Pearce.

They spent hours building walls around the recently-installed hydrotherapy pool, as well as putting up walls for an extension to make the home more accessible for Alexia.

Len added: “Everybody has weighed in. We all just wanted to do our bit.

“All we are doing is giving up a little bit of our time, but it makes a huge difference to the family and it keeps things moving forward to help Alexia."

The family had repeatedly applied to the DIY SOS TV show, but heard nothing back.

Alexia’s mum Emily said: “We had a knock on the door on Saturday morning from Len, who we knew, and a lot of people we had never met before wanting to do this for Alexia.

“They did it all free of charge just because they wanted to help.

“We were completely overwhelmed and just left completely speechless.

“It is so kind of them all and we want everyone to know what they have done for us and how grateful we are.”
