0:00:03 > 0:00:06Lots of us live so close to one another nowadays,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08in streets and on estates, just like this one,
0:00:08 > 0:00:12but possibly never come together as a community that often.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Well, today, with a lot of community spirit,
0:00:14 > 0:00:16all of that is about to change.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Friends, family and neighbours are coming together to raise
0:00:18 > 0:00:21money for one very special person.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Her name is Jacky, she is a pillar of the community.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27But eight years ago, tragedy struck
0:00:27 > 0:00:29when she lost her younger brother to suicide.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31I just phoned the police.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33And then they came and told us all to go home and that's when
0:00:33 > 0:00:35the police had found him.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Since then, she's devoted her time to running
0:00:37 > 0:00:40a charity to help others who are going through the same thing.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45I've had mothers weep, knowing that they've lost their...
0:00:45 > 0:00:49you know, their sons or daughters. It's hard.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51You've got to have a really big heart
0:00:51 > 0:00:53and Jacky's got that big heart to deal with these things.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57So, to say thank you to Jacky, we're holding a street auction
0:00:57 > 0:01:00to raise £900 to buy Jacky a special treat
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and a gift for her community.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04CHEERING
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- We will knock on anyone's door... - You found me.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09..to get anything we can sell.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- This is like Christmas now. - We've got Ming Dynasty here.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14But it's not all going to be plain sailing.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- I haven't got any junk in here. - Have you got anything to donate?
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Not at the moment, no.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22And how will Jacky react when she finds out this is all been for her?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25It's all about you. It's all about you.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Today, we're in Toothill, an estate just west of Swindon town centre.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Built in the late 1970s, it housed the growing number of workers
0:01:38 > 0:01:42in the many new factories and offices Swindon is now known for.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Today, it's home to a community of around 4,500
0:01:45 > 0:01:49and a big part of that community is Jacky Parry.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51What are you having, then, Trev?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Jacky is just a good-natured person that's someone
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- you want to be around.- I don't think I've met anyone quite like her.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Jacky now devotes her time to a local charity that helps others
0:02:00 > 0:02:02who have lost loved ones through suicide.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Jacky is as strong as an ox. She's got to be.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I couldn't have done what she's done.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11To find out more about her, I went to meet her partner, George.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Hello, is that George?- Hello, it is. - Hello, it's Paul. How you doing?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Pleased to meet you.- All right? - Yeah.- Come on in.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19So, tell me a bit about Jacky.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Well, she's an absolute diamond, you know, in the community.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24She's involved in everything -
0:02:24 > 0:02:27all the local community things and all the local charity stuff.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Yeah, so she's always helping other people?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31She's always helping other people.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Always children and charity first, you know.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Cos she's been through a lot, hasn't she?- Oh, yes, yes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38She's had this...
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- It's very hard with what happened with her brother dying.- Yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- It's been very hard for her. - Yeah.- It's been a struggle.- Mm.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Jacky and her younger brother, Paris,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52both lived on the Toothill estate. They were very close.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56But her life was changed forever eight years ago, when Paris,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59tragically, took his own life.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01We all, as a family,
0:03:01 > 0:03:05went out together and had a meal and that was our last meal together.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10She was first on the scene, so it was extremely traumatic.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14On the initial Sunday, when I went there
0:03:14 > 0:03:16and I was banging on the door and trying to get in,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19you know, there was just that panic.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Since that traumatic day,
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Jacky has been determined to help others, so she set up
0:03:24 > 0:03:29a local branch of the charity Survivors Of Bereavement By Suicide,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31known as Sobs.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I'm sat here in my own grief and I'm thinking, "How many out there
0:03:35 > 0:03:38"are going through what I'm going through?"
0:03:38 > 0:03:40There's nowhere to go with it.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It is in memory of him, for sure, definitely.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45You know, for sure. So, yeah.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48It gets you sometimes.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Whoa.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Yeah, sorry.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Jacky began the group in 2013, alongside caring full-time
0:03:57 > 0:04:01for her son, who suffers with his mental health.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05For me, on a daily basis, it's very much up and down.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09You don't know from one extreme to the next what he's going to be like.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Close friend Lisa knows just how tough things can be for Jacky.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16One minute, things can be normal in the house,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19the next they could just be haywire.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22But she just needs a bit of time out, so that she can go and do some
0:04:22 > 0:04:25things for herself and think of herself for a change,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28instead of thinking of everybody else.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31So, we want to send Jacky away on a much-needed break
0:04:31 > 0:04:33to relax and unwind.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Now, that's going to cost several hundred pounds.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39This is how we're going to raise it.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Now, the plan is -
0:04:41 > 0:04:45we ask all of Jacky's friends and neighbours to donate any unwanted
0:04:45 > 0:04:48or unloved items, so we can sell them in a pop-up auction
0:04:48 > 0:04:51right here on the street.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Now, that's the big enough challenge in itself, but the real task
0:04:55 > 0:04:58is keeping this a secret from Jacky until after the auction.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Now, obviously, I can't do this by myself,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04so I've called in a dealer friend of mine -
0:05:04 > 0:05:07someone who knows his treasure from his trash.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Danny Sebastian!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Whoa, right on time, look at that.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Morning, Paul.- Good morning. Good to see you.- Always a pleasure.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Bang on time, how about that? - Punctual me, you know. Punctual.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Right, I think quantity over quality.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- It's achievable. - It's achievable, isn't it?- Yes.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- Because every fiver adds up. - Of course it does.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35And we will be sending some special finds to a saleroom
0:05:35 > 0:05:37to get the best prices.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39So, I'm hoping for some quality items.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- You go that way and I'll go this way.- Right, see you shortly.- Yeah.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45'Right then, let's get cracking.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48'I've got a good feeling about Toothill.'
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Someone's got a bit of pride.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Hopefully, they understand what this is all about
0:05:53 > 0:05:55and they're willing to help.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58He wants to go in and get some milk.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- DOG BARKS - Oh, I'd better watch my ankles.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05They're very small people here.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09But it's much tougher than I bargained for.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11And I'm just wondering at all whether or not
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- you've got anything to donate. - Not at the moment, no.- No.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I'm starting to feel despondent.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19'Is Danny doing any better?'
0:06:19 > 0:06:23What a shame. The guys in there didn't want to be filmed,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25but look at these. They're absolutely beautiful.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Little bits of gold gilding round the top,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30lovely pictures of peacocks on the front.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I think they're quite saleable.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35'We may only get a couple of pounds on the bric-a-brac stall,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38'but it's something, Danny.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41'Don't suppose you have anything to donate? Some nuts?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44'Even the squirrels are running a mile.'
0:06:48 > 0:06:53Do you know, at this rate, there won't be a street auction.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58We won't have anything to sell.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Which means we let Jacky down, which is not good.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Perhaps we need a change in direction.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Which way do I go? Decisions, decisions.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Straight ahead.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Danny is heading to the local shop. That could be a clever move.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- I'm going to be in all day anyhow. - You're going to be in all day?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Yeah, yeah.- If you could just jot down your address.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Do you want to write it?- No, you write it. I'll let you write it.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Well done, Danny. At least you have an appointment.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- I got rid of all mine. - You got rid of it all?- Yeah.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Oh, shame. OK. Well, it's nice to meet someone who's in.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33You take care.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Right, the street isn't working for me.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I'll head over to the village centre, too.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41It's where Toothill's community centre is based.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Hello.- Hi, hello.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47And I found Lisa, a good friend of Jacky's.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Yeah, she does a lot for other people
0:07:49 > 0:07:51and it's about time she was recognised for it.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Yeah. And this is what we're doing. Can you help me?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- I've got a garage... - You've got a garage?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- ..at my mum's house that you can go and rummage through.- OK.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01'While Lisa and I head to her mum's,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03'things are picking up for Danny.'
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- You found me.- We found you, Jenny. We have found you.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Shall I take my shoes off?- No, no. I haven't done any house work.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Well, it looks very tidy. And I see you got your slippers on.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Oh, yeah. I wouldn't live without my slippers.- Hey, you've got to be
0:08:16 > 0:08:18comfy, haven't you? Hello. How are you?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22And Jenny's got something just as cute for the bric-a-brac stall.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- That's a bit of a toy.- Yeah. - There's a lovely shire horse.- Yeah.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Is it a bit of Beswick?- No, I doubt it.- Oh, you know a bit of Beswick,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- do you?- No, I don't.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37The Beswick pottery in Stoke-on-Trent was founded in 1892
0:08:37 > 0:08:40and produced porcelain figurines, such as farm animals.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42This shire horse isn't Beswick,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45but still could achieve a couple of pounds.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47'Across town, Lisa and I have reached her mum's.'
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Have you got your teeth in? - Hello! It's Marie, is it?- Yes.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Pleased to meet you.- And I've got all that junk in there.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Give us the key, come on! - It is junk.- There you are.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- I haven't got any junk in here. - No, all right, OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Are you coming with us?- No.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05'But she is, just keep an eye on us.'
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Yes, you are.- No, I'm not. - You want to see the expression
0:09:08 > 0:09:11on my face when you show me all this and I go...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13It's just a load of rubbish.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16'But one person's rubbish is some else's treasure and
0:09:16 > 0:09:20'I've spotted some old inkwells belonged to Marie's late husband.'
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- So, we can have these, can we?- Yes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26'Inkwells gradually fell out of use in the early part of the 20th
0:09:26 > 0:09:30'century, as the reservoir fountain pen replaced the dip pen.'
0:09:30 > 0:09:33These are lovely. These are Victorian.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36These are what you find in those landfill sites, you know.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I reckon we put those into a proper auction,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41because they will find a buyer
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and I reckon some of these are £2-£3 each.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47'But Marie's late husband collected glass in all shapes and sizes.'
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- What are these? - I don't know what they are.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Don't ask me what they are. That's a bit silly, now, isn't it?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Oh, it's bottles, look.- Oh, it's a bottle in a case. Oh, that's nice.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00And that little stopper, there's a little ball in there,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03that stops the gas from escaping.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08'This is known as a globe stopper bottle, invented in 1872.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11'They were filled under gas pressure, which pushed up a marble
0:10:11 > 0:10:17'against the rubber washer in the neck, creating a perfect seal.'
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I mean, that's worth £2-£3.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22'Again, the glass can go to a saleroom,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25'perhaps grouped with the inkwells.'
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Over at Jenny's, Danny's hunt has spread to a celebrity front room.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- I'll give you my dog. My dog. - Oh, Jenny.- And I'll give you my cat.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Are you sure, Jenny? - Yeah, yeah. Yes, certainly.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I'll tell you what, if I'm going to be selling these on the day,
0:10:39 > 0:10:43they want good money. These will be going into Paul's auction.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44They certainly will, Danny.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47They're modern and mass-produced,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49but we could get a tenner for the pair.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Give us a huggle.- I wish I could have given you more.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Now, I'll stop you there. You've given us plenty.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56So, that's... Well, yeah.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Back at Marie's garage, I found something else.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Can we have these? These are lovely. These are earthenware.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- These are really nice.- They can go. It gets rid of them.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Thank you. Have these been in the garden?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- They've been there all the time. - I can see that, yeah.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14'Because of the way it's fired in the kiln,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16'earthenware is slightly porous.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20'It can only be used to hold liquid if it's had glaze applied.'
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Good Victorian pottery, it's all Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26All of these things add up.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29You know, I think there's 20 quid there.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32'Back in the garage, Marie's daughter Lisa is determined Mum has a proper clear out.'
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Is that something for us?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37You might as well, cos you're not going to ever use it.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41That's really nice. A fire iron, a little shovel and some tongs.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45God, they're lovely.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48'Fireside companion sets were a distinctive feature of the
0:11:48 > 0:11:50'traditional English open fireplace,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52'especially in Victorian times.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56'They were usually made of iron, brass and sometimes pewter.'
0:11:56 > 0:11:58They're in fabulous condition.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Look at the way the blacksmith's hand-beaten this
0:12:01 > 0:12:04and make these little rivets, look at that,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08to hold this little shovel onto the handle. Really nice.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- I see £100 there.- That's good. - Yeah, I do.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I knew she had something that was worth something.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Well, this was worth raiding, wasn't it?- It was.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18'Marie, you've been an absolute treasure.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22'This rummage has well and truly taken off,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24'compared to how it started.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27'On my way back, there are a couple of items left out for us.'
0:12:27 > 0:12:30"For the street auction, please take today if possible.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33"Thank you. Daphne." She's left her phone number.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Well, that's OK, isn't it?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39It's got a few scratches on it, but with a coat of paint, I mean,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42that's going to look great. It's like an old pub table.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46It's sort of 1980s. It'll be worth 20 quid with a coat of paint on it.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Someone else has left something with a note on it, look.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52This is like Christmas now.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55It's a 1970s print...
0:12:57 > 0:13:00..with a herd of elephants. Well, that's a good furnishing picture.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03'The neighbours are really coming up trumps for Jacky.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05'Meanwhile, Danny has found himself at Maureen's,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08'who's known Jacky for over 13 years.'
0:13:08 > 0:13:11So, where shall we start? What have you got for me? That's quite nice.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Shall I reach up and get it? - You can.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Simple oil lamps have been used since the Stone Age.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Cheap paraffin fuel, first patented in 1850,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22revolutionised Victorian lighting.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25My mother acquired it from my great aunt.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- And it was dumped in my garage, so it's been up there...- Ever since.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Well, I'll tell you what, it's quite nice. It's quite decorative.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Nice base on it. We're quite lucky to have the shade still on it.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- It's nice. It's been looked after. - Yeah.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42That will brighten up the bric-a-brac stall,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45but so will some pieces from Maureen's glass collection.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Oh, yes, please. That's lovely. Very decorative.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51A nice heavy lump that. Bit of art glass.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53And with a few other pieces, they're heading for the
0:13:53 > 0:13:57pop-up auction, while Danny is headed upstairs for more donations.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00We've got some Ming Dynasty here, I don't want to drop it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Maureen's got another way of getting them downstairs.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07You'd be surprised what goes up and down on that.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08A porcelain jug.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11They used to fill it with water back in the day,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14tip it into your bowl and that's where you'd have your wash
0:14:14 > 0:14:17and your freshen up. Nowadays, people still
0:14:17 > 0:14:19have it in the bathroom. Just ornamental.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23And, of course, we've got a lovely pottery vase. Nothing special.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27These bits and pieces are going to look very well on our
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- bric-a-brac stall. - Bric-a-brac? Is that all?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32I thought it would have been a bit more...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34When my mate Paul has a look at it,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37he might well say that they are going to a top auction house.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I'd love that.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I'll have a look, Maureen.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45After all, you're donating all your stuff for your friend Jacky.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Jacky and Paris were very close,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50seeing each other at least once a week.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52She has fond memories of him.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56He was just a really... what I'd call a lovely guy.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Very genuine. Would do anything for anybody.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01He was just really sweet.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04He really was a really sweet brother.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07He loved us all. He was just a very caring guy.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Jacky knew her brother suffered from depression,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13but she didn't know just how serious.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17You know, you just think that they're all OK, don't you?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Your family. But he was struggling.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24We all, as a family, went out together and had a meal.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25He went home that night.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I went over to see him at the flat, banged on the door.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Tried to break in, but all the curtains were closed.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35You know, so there's no way of looking in
0:15:35 > 0:15:37and I just phoned the police.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43And then they came and told us all to go home and just wait
0:15:43 > 0:15:46and that's when the police had found him.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Paris' death had a devastating effect on Jacky's family.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52It rips you apart.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57It leaves a massive crater, a massive hole in everyone's heart.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00If that wasn't enough to cope with, Jacky's son Isaac was then
0:16:00 > 0:16:04diagnosed with depression, post-traumatic stress and anxiety.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07He needed Jacky's full-time care.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10He has gone through those dark times.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13And there are times where he just doesn't want to be here.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17I had to look after him as my priority and he's my boy.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21For Jacky, losing her brother to depression and caring
0:16:21 > 0:16:24full-time for her own son is a huge personal struggle.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29There'd days where I'd be OK and there'd days when I just wasn't.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31"That's it. I'm not going out today.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34"I'm not venturing out. I can't be bothered."
0:16:34 > 0:16:37But even in those most trying times, Jacky felt her experiences
0:16:37 > 0:16:41could help others and she was compelled to do something.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45They're suffering in silence, yet they're living with that on
0:16:45 > 0:16:48a daily basis and there is nowhere, there's nowhere to go with it.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53For me, that's why SOBS was important to set up,
0:16:53 > 0:16:58to support others that are going through the very thing
0:16:58 > 0:17:01that I was going through.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Running the group and caring for her son full-time is emotionally
0:17:04 > 0:17:07tough for Jacky.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10I've sat in group and I've heard mothers weep. It gets me.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Knowing that they have lost their...
0:17:15 > 0:17:18..you know, their sons or their daughters, it's hard.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Yeah.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29'Back on the street, I found Miriam.' Hello!
0:17:29 > 0:17:33'Miriam's life has also been touched by suicide.'
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- I had a cousin that...- Really? - ..took his own life.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Oh.- And it really had a terrible effect on my aunt.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Yeah.- Dreadful.- Yeah.- She could have done with some help, I think.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Yeah, so we're going to help her.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50'As well as donating two landscape paintings she's painted herself,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54'I've got an idea how we can maximise Miriam's obvious talent.'
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Can we sell these on our stall? - Yeah.- OK.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- And then can I auction off a free commissioned painting?- Yeah.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Could you donate a painting if you paint it?- Yeah.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07They can have an oil on canvas, painted by you to the value of,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- what, let's say £100. - Yeah. That's fine.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- Is that...?- Yeah. - Brilliant, thank you.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15'What a treat for any would-be bidder -
0:18:15 > 0:18:19'their very own commissioned painting - but Miriam has more.'
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Oh, we can paint these.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- Yeah, that was my grandmother's. - Brilliant.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Yeah. Is that what you just got out of the attic?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Yes.- You said you were going to get some stuff out of the attic.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31On another street, Danny's been drawn to a house with a vintage van.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Will owner Les have anything for us?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Come in.- Come on in? I've wiped my feet.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37I've got my Rolls-Royce.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Now, that sounds good. Oh, what's that? Oh, a toy one.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I thought you meant a real one round the back.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44- That's nice.- That one...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I'll tell you what, she's a heavy one.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- What is it? Dinky?- Yes.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- That's James Bond, isn't it? - Yeah. Yeah.- That's nice as well.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55With any toy cars, collectors like them boxed,
0:18:55 > 0:18:56and being a James Bond Aston Martin,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59it will appeal to big boys everywhere,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02but Les might have kept the best till last.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Have a go at this.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- That is a nice bike.- BSA.- What does that stand for, do you know?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I don't know. What are you asking me for? I want to learn it.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- LES LAUGHS - Well, it's all a learning curve.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Well, Danny, I know all about BSA,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19and I'll tell you later what it stands for,
0:19:19 > 0:19:23but suffice to say this vintage bicycle is a great find.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I mean, what would it be? 1930s?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I've been told it's 1947.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Look at that moving mechanism.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I'll tell you what, they just don't make bikes like this any more.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I'll tell you what, I've come in a car - I'll be going on a bike.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Ey up!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40One of the first ever bikes was called a Boneshaker -
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I think Danny's on it.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48'Back at the community centre, I've met up with Jan,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50'who helps Jacky with her charity.'
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- You know we're raising money, don't you?- Yes, I know.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Do you know who this is for?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Yes, I do. - You do. And do you know Jacky?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Yes, I do, cos I'm trustee on SOBS with her.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Oh, are you? So, you work on the charity as well?- Yes.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It's one of those groups where you sit there sometimes
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- and it's really hard to listen to the stories...- Mmm.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09..but whatever anybody needs within the group, somebody else,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12even if they're in the same situation,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14will give that to that person.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16You know, so it's very selfless,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- because they're going through the same pain...- Mmm.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21..but they will still give to that person next to them,
0:20:21 > 0:20:22if they're in that situation,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- because they're all at different stages in their journey.- Mmm.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29'It's obviously a much-needed local charity,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32'which Jacky puts a huge amount of energy into.'
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I'm amazed by how she manages to get it all done.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Jacky is always on the go,
0:20:37 > 0:20:41and she's always got her phone with her, for her SOBS group.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43She could be anywhere and the phone could ring.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47The group meets once a week and is a place where people can go to
0:20:47 > 0:20:50talk through their grief and to help them on the their new path
0:20:50 > 0:20:51their life has now taken.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Julie has now been going for the last six months.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Jacky's an amazing support.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57She's available on the phone if we need her.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59She's available on e-mail.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01She genuinely cares about each and every one of us,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04and, to me, she's one in a million.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Sue is also a SOBS attendee,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08and knows that people like Jacky are key to
0:21:08 > 0:21:10raising awareness of suicide.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I think it's important that we have people like Jacky,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16who's passionate, has respect within the community,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19and is getting more people to understand.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Friend Lisa knows Jacky's a special person.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28I couldn't do what Jacky does, never in a million years.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31You've got to have a really big heart,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33and Jacky's got that big heart to do all of these things.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Jacky is determined to help people through their darkest times,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39to see a promising future.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42In your weak times, that's when you're strong.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46You don't see it at the time, but you are incredibly strong.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I mean, through all the loss you've had,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50you've got to look at good memories,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53and how to generate good memories and have fun.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55You're going to have your up and down days,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58but it's also carving out some really good memories.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01'I can't wait to meet Jacky, and I'm in luck,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03'because she's outside the community centre.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06'I hope I'm not rumbled. Here goes.'
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Hello.- Hello. Hi. Hello.- Oh, hello.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Hi, I've brought all of my tat with me.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14We found these all in the garage so we thought we'd bring them up.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Oh, bless you! So, how long have you lived here?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- I've lived here 27 years. - You obviously love it.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- Yeah, I know. It's good.- And what you do for a living?- Me? I...
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- Well, I used to run my own business. - Doing what?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Flowers. I used to sell... - Oh, are you a florist?- Yeah, yeah.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I have a son that's had a mental health illness,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34so I had to give it up and then be a carer for him.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I set up a charity called SOBS, Survivors Of Bereavement By Suicide,
0:22:37 > 0:22:39cos I lost my brother to suicide.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42And, obviously, this makes a difference in the community, then?
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Yes, it does, cos we've had...
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Since we set up two and a half years ago,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48we've had over 100 referrals of people affected by suicide...
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Really?- ..in Wiltshire. - The pressures of modern day life.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52It is. I would say so.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54When my brother died, it was the credit crunch.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- 2009 was when the credit crunch... - Yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59When people were losing jobs or couldn't find work.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02And that is that thing about what's going on in the world.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04If you are in a community, you've got to help.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- You've got to get stuck in. - You've got to support.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- You've got to, kind of, be there. - Yeah.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10What's the point of being in a place?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12You've got to take root and just establish
0:23:12 > 0:23:13and support within the community.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17You'll be surprised how many people don't know half the other people
0:23:17 > 0:23:18- in their street.- I know.- You know?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21'Jacky's donated a lot of pictures.'
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- No...- But I think that's nice, the oil on canvas.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27'This one resembles the famous painting Two Tahitian Women
0:23:27 > 0:23:30'by French impressionist Gauguin.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33'Another simple painting of Gauguin's sold recently for
0:23:33 > 0:23:36'300 million US dollars.'
0:23:36 > 0:23:39It's someone that, you know, has a really good eye.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Yeah.- And they've got technique. - Yeah.- And I think...
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I think that's a splash of colour on anybody's wall.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47'It's definitely one for the pop-up auction,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49'as are the two Art Deco paintings,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53'but on the table are a collection of cards which used to come with
0:23:53 > 0:23:55'packets of tea and cigarettes.'
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Oh, I had this one.- Did you?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- And "The Kings and Queens of England"!- Yeah, it is. Yeah.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I had a hot flush, going up in my attic earlier,
0:24:01 > 0:24:02getting all of this lot.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04That sense of anticipation,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07when Mum opened a new packet of PG Tips,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08and you could smell the tea,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10and then you'd sort of get the tea out of the box, wouldn't you?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12And there'd be the card tucked down the side
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- between the lining and the box. - Yeah.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16This is good. The gardening one, we'll put into our auction.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Yeah, OK.- Someone had the foresight not to glue them down.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Right. - You can see they're just tucked in.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Yeah, yeah, cos they would rip, wouldn't they?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Yeah, and it's the complete set, and the condition is superb.- Mm-hmm.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31'Cards like these are worth more if they're not glued into a scrapbook,
0:24:31 > 0:24:32'because of the danger of tearing them
0:24:32 > 0:24:34'if you try to take them out.'
0:24:34 > 0:24:35- That one's good.- Yes.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I think we put that one into auction. That's brilliant.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40We're going to hang onto that.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44'Jacky has been a star, but she's not just going to donate items.'
0:24:44 > 0:24:46- Sounds good.- So, if you can help out on the day...?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Yeah, I'll help.- Rain or shine...
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Yeah, rain or shine.- That's fine. - That's OK, isn't it? Fantastic.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55'Today didn't start off well, but, boy, has it ended on a high.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57'We've just got one more thing to do,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59'and that's unload the van to see which one of us
0:24:59 > 0:25:01'has collected the most,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05'and to find some items to send off to the saleroom.'
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Two very good-looking lines.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- That's nice.- A nice little barley twist table.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Yeah. It's modern, but I'll tell you what, for the conservatory,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16painted, that will look great, so we can upcycle that.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19'We'd be hard pushed to get a tenner for Miriam's plain brown table,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22'but hopefully, upcycled, we can get £20.'
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I'll tell you what, you've got some art glass there.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- We'll put those together.- Yes. - It looks very Scandinavian.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Very in. Very on-trend.- Yeah. - That's a nice little lot.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I'll put that under the hammer on the pop-up.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36'Putting them together, I might get over a fiver.'
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- Shall we do the dog and the cat? - It would be quite nice, yes.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40- Put them under the hammer?- Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44- That, I think, we can upcycle and paint a bright colour.- Definitely.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47'With a lick of bright paint, I should get £20 for that, too.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51So, the fireside tools - three of them, late Georgian.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54'This Georgian fireside set dates from the early 19th century.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57'I hope we might get £100 for these.'
0:25:57 > 0:25:59And all of those Victorian bottles.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Yeah? They can go off to auction, and the Wills cigarette cards, look.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06'The Victorian bottles and inkwells are a bit of a punt -
0:26:06 > 0:26:08'we might get £20 -
0:26:08 > 0:26:11'but there are a lot of collectors for tea and cigarette cards,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14'so maybe we'll get £5 a set.'
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Out of everything here, the star lot you've found has to be this.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I love that!
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I absolutely love that,
0:26:23 > 0:26:24and someone's looked after that -
0:26:24 > 0:26:27they've put new brake blocks on that.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31And I'll tell you what, look, BSA - Birmingham Small Arms Company.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Now, they made ammunitions and munitions for the Crimean War,
0:26:35 > 0:26:39and after the war ended, they had all that manufacturing process
0:26:39 > 0:26:40and they thought, "What can we do?"
0:26:40 > 0:26:43So they started making bikes.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45'It's a good British name and it's in great condition.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49'We'll send that to the saleroom and hopefully get £50.'
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Well done, Danny. You've worked so hard.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Thank you, Paul.- Well done.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00It's the morning of the street auction,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04and in a few hours' time, this quiet cul-de-sac needs to be
0:27:04 > 0:27:06filled with Jacky's friends and neighbours.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10The skies might be a little grey, but the bunting is being hung.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12The van is being unloaded,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14but it seems we've already had a casualty -
0:27:14 > 0:27:18hopefully the last, because we can't afford to lose anything.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Thankfully, our volunteers are here, including Jacky.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Hopefully she still hasn't twigged that this is all for her.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Thank you so much for turning up today, everybody.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33I know we are going to have a brilliant day.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35With your help, we can do this.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38It's all about the community coming together. Isn't that right, Danny?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Absolutely.- Yeah. I know you definitely love your plants,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- so you'll want to do plants. - Yeah, I've got the plants.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Who's going to do bric-a-brac today?- The three...
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Oh, the three of you? Yeah? - I'll do whatever.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I'm just thinking, we've got plenty of kids' toys and stuff like that.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Who wants to do kids' toys?- Yes. - Oh, look, I'll tell you what.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54You've got a great face for kids' toys.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Yeah. I've just been volunteered. - Yeah, you have.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Thank you. With your help, we can do this.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06'I hope so, because we have a steep target of £900 to raise,
0:28:06 > 0:28:10'and we need everyone's hands on deck.'
0:28:12 > 0:28:16I'll tell you what, how lovely is that? A lovely little Ensign.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19'Ensign was a camera range, made by a British company
0:28:19 > 0:28:21'started in the 1930s.'
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Even got the case with it. Quite nice, that.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26I've just looked at some stuff that's come in fresh.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I've seen a little camera.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30I'm wondering at all whether it might do
0:28:30 > 0:28:31for the auction this afternoon.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Is it a little Box Brownie?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36I don't think it's a Brownie, but it's that type of thing.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40'The Box Brownie camera was invented by Kodak in 1,900.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45'Its simple design and low-cost film brought photography to the masses.'
0:28:45 > 0:28:47I think we'll give it a go.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50We'll give it a go on the pop-up rostrum, because it's too nice...
0:28:50 > 0:28:51- It's too nice for bric-a-brac.- Yes.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Probably get 20 quid for that, won't we, Paul?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- I would have thought so.- Hopefully. Yeah, I'd have thought so.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58I know you are tip-top fantastic,
0:28:58 > 0:29:01so I think whatever target we've got to make today,
0:29:01 > 0:29:03we're going to do it.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05We'll give it full exposure, and do you know what?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07It's just started to rain.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Tarpaulins out, everybody, and take cover.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Quick! PAUL LAUGHS
0:29:12 > 0:29:15'When I said exposure, I didn't mean to the elements!'
0:29:20 > 0:29:23It matches the suit, doesn't it?
0:29:23 > 0:29:26We won't let a bit of rain dampen our spirits, however -
0:29:26 > 0:29:28not when there are boys' toys to play with.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30TOY CAR RUMBLES
0:29:30 > 0:29:33The wheels are going. It moves! Look at that!
0:29:33 > 0:29:36TOY CAR SCREECHES It came to a screeching halt, then.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37Eee!
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Classic 1960s Aston Martin DB -
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- David Brown, the founder of Aston Martin.- I'm learning!
0:29:44 > 0:29:47And a bit too modern, is it, to really warrant a good price?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Do you know what? I might give that a go on the rostrum. It is...
0:29:49 > 0:29:53It is, but, because this is for a good cause, I'm going to push it.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56'I'm going to try and get at least a tenner for this.'
0:29:56 > 0:29:59You're going to have fun on that rostrum, aren't you?
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Yeah. Shaken, not stirred. LAUGHTER
0:30:03 > 0:30:06'No sooner do we have a high...
0:30:06 > 0:30:08'then we have a low.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09'Another casualty -
0:30:09 > 0:30:13'that's a good-looking clock, but it won't sell now.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15'We need to make up some ground -
0:30:15 > 0:30:18'perhaps with our upcycled furniture.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21'Remember the round table left outside on the street for us?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25'It was brown and bland. Well, look at it now.'
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- It's probably more saleable as it is than what it was as brown.- Exactly.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Do you know what? I recognise the shape, but I forgot all about it.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- So, for me, that's done the trick. - Yes.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Now you gravitate towards that.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38You go, "Gosh, that looks different. That looks good."
0:30:38 > 0:30:40We've got mixed colours and it is in an eggshell,
0:30:40 > 0:30:41but it's all waterproof eggshell.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45So, you can put this outside in the garden if you want to.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Yes. Well, I mean, it's had a drop of rain this morning, hasn't it?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- It's not affected it. - No! It's tried and tested.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53All said and done - it's clean, it's fresh.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56When we found that, we both went, "A fiver."
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Yes. I'll agree.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- Now...- Now?- 15 to 20. - Maybe even a little bit more.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04And remember Miriam's barley twist table?
0:31:04 > 0:31:08And now it is a one-off Street Auction special,
0:31:08 > 0:31:09limited edition. Look at that.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12It's just "Street Auction" printed and cut out.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Well, it's not just Street Auction. That is classed as decoupage.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16- It is, isn't it?- Yes.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Basically, that was the Victorian art of scrapbook collecting.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20You cut everything out and stuck it on screens -
0:31:20 > 0:31:22on anything, really - and varnished it.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- Yes, but that looks well. - It looks good.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27I think that really speaks out for what we're doing here today,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30and anybody who buys that is going to keep a piece of...
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- What we're doing. - Yes, what we're doing.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35'But which table will make the most money?'
0:31:35 > 0:31:37I think the pastel one is going to make around about...
0:31:37 > 0:31:39I'd hope about £30-£40.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43- And I think this black barley twist table is going to make less.- OK.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Well, do you know what?
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- I'm going to work really hard to make mine do more than yours...- Oh!
0:31:52 > 0:31:54..because every pound helps.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- I can't win, really.- No, you can't!
0:31:57 > 0:32:00'We shall see, Danny. We shall see.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03'Jacky's partner George has also arrived with
0:32:03 > 0:32:05'something a little bit special.'
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Is this yours?- Yes. - Thank you, George.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- Can we have that in our pop-up sale? - Yeah, you can. Yeah, yeah.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Brilliant.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16'It's an Edwardian baby daybed - a crib on wheels, if you like.'
0:32:16 > 0:32:20It's even got its little china casters on it. Look at that.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- Look at that. - It's a nice Edwardian piece.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25'I think I could get £40 for it.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28'Well, I think it's about time we got this show on the road.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32'We've got a crowd waiting and there's even a marching band.'
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- Five! Four!- Five, four, three, two, one!- Danny, good luck.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Olivia, thank you.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Here we go.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43CHEERING
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Band, ready!
0:32:50 > 0:32:52We now need to raise lots and lots of money,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55so I'll tell you what - you take that side, I'll take that side,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- and we'll just get people buying, buying, buying.- Let's do it.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- 'It's time to get selling.' - How much is that?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Don't you go giving it... - About £1. About £1, isn't it?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Oh, but don't forget it for a good cause.- Haven't decided yet?- £2.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- Give us three quid.- All right.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10It's got a nice little brass bit, there, hasn't it?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Oh, yeah.- Four. - Look at it. Give us four.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Keep the change. How's that?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16'That deserves a cheer from a cheerleader.'
0:33:18 > 0:33:21What can I sell you, sweetheart? It's all got to go.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27Maureen's lamp has got a buyer, and £20, too,
0:33:27 > 0:33:29and the toy stall is proving a winner.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31What's your name?
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Daniel.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Hey! Guess what my name is?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- Daniel!- You've got it. Tell you what...
0:33:36 > 0:33:38I'll tell you what, there's no flies on this lad.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39I'll tell you, there's no flies on him.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41But you can't please everybody.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Are these any good?
0:33:44 > 0:33:45No.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- You don't like them games, do you? - No...- You don't?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50'On the plus side, a local artist called Marion
0:33:50 > 0:33:54'has turned up in support to paint a one-off watercolour of
0:33:54 > 0:33:56'the day's festivities.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59'I'll auction that one off later on the rostrum.'
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Thank you very much.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02The money is rolling in,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05but can the same be said about the items that we picked
0:34:05 > 0:34:07to send over to the saleroom?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Our auctioneer today is James Lewis.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13At 40... Well fought, sir.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15'And first up, it's Marie's collection of
0:34:15 > 0:34:17'Victorian inkwells and bottles,
0:34:17 > 0:34:19'which I can see making £20.'
0:34:19 > 0:34:23A really interesting little lot of bottle-diggers' finds...
0:34:23 > 0:34:25At £10. 15, do I see?
0:34:25 > 0:34:28At 10, 15, 20 absentee bid, 20 and five.
0:34:28 > 0:34:3020. All done.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Absentee bid takes it at £20...
0:34:34 > 0:34:36'Bang on the money.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39'Next, it's the Victorian fireside set.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42'Is my £100 estimate overambitious?'
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Interesting little collection of steel fire irons.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50It would have been made around 1790, 1810. A true antique.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52We'll start them at £20 for the three.
0:34:52 > 0:34:5420 bid. 25 on the aisle.
0:34:54 > 0:34:5530 at the back.
0:34:55 > 0:34:5735, new place. £40.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59With... 40 bid.
0:34:59 > 0:35:0045 in front.
0:35:00 > 0:35:0350 now. At £50, are you sure?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Going once, twice, third and last.
0:35:05 > 0:35:0750, yours.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10'Someone's got themselves a bargain, but we still have £50.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13'Next, it's the three sets of cards -
0:35:13 > 0:35:16'£5 a set would be great.'
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Now, this is the collection of cigarette cards.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Would anybody like them for 10?
0:35:20 > 0:35:22£10, absentee bid at the back at 10.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2315 now.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25At £10 at the back, and 15 where?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27At £10.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Absentee bid, £10.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Every little helps, but now it's my favourite item, the BSA bike.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37I hope we can get £50.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40This is the vintage BSA bicycle.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41At 15, 18...
0:35:41 > 0:35:4318 bid. 20 here, and two.
0:35:43 > 0:35:4522. 25 now.
0:35:45 > 0:35:4728. In the centre at 30.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Five. 40 bid.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Well done. 45.
0:35:50 > 0:35:5145. 50.
0:35:51 > 0:35:5350 bid. 50 and five.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Online at 60.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56Five. 65.
0:35:56 > 0:35:5865 bid. At 65...
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Gentleman seated.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Yours, sir, well done.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06'That's a brilliant price, and with a total of £145,
0:36:06 > 0:36:09'it hasn't been a bad day in the saleroom.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14'Back at the street, the money from the stalls is being tallied.'
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Lisa, here's the moment of truth - Danny's been helping count out
0:36:17 > 0:36:20all the money, so this is the sum total from the stalls.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- It's a good figure.- Go on.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- Five?- 500.- £500!- That's good. - From the stalls.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- Plus the £145 from the auction. - Absolutely brilliant.

0:40:58 > 0:41:03I can't believe it. Without you, this would not be possible.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08Now, I have told one or two fibs. I have.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Most of you know what this is all about,
0:41:10 > 0:41:14but there is one person here who thinks it's for a community project.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Well, it isn't for the community project,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20it's for one very special person who has been part of this
0:41:20 > 0:41:23community for nearly three decades.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26She has worked wonders.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28She is there as a shoulder to cry on,

0:41:32 > 0:41:37She is a caring mother, a caring partner, you all know her.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Jacky Parry, it's all about you.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42It's all about you.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45All of this is for you.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Take this.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Can you read it out loud?
0:41:56 > 0:42:00"We've arranged for you to have an all-expenses-paid mini break
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- "to the Lake District." Really? - Yes.- Wow, I am just shocked.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Thank you so, so much.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Well, we've had to keep this a secret from you for a long time.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13George has helped us out, Steve has helped us out, so many people...
0:42:13 > 0:42:14- George?!- Yes, yes!
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Wow, thank you. Do you know what? I really need a break!
0:42:18 > 0:42:21I really do need a break, so, thank you so, so much.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24You know, it's always been a community, this place,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27so I'm just really blessed and honoured to be part of it.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- Yeah, thank you. - OK, give her a hug!
0:42:33 > 0:42:36I thought you had sort of twigged that, but you didn't!
0:42:36 > 0:42:38I don't know you!
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Yeah, a bit emotional, actually!
0:42:40 > 0:42:45I can't believe the whole community can come together so well.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48I didn't think we would get away with that, but we did.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Jacky is so well-known and loved in the community,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53the cat could have got out of the bag at any moment.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57We got away with it and we raised more than our original target.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58It doesn't get much better than that.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00I hope you've enjoyed watching the show.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Do keep watching, because hopefully, we could be in your street
0:43:03 > 0:43:06the next time, and this auction could be for you. Goodbye.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10Since the street auction, Jacky and George have enjoyed spending
0:43:10 > 0:43:13quality time together on a break away.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16And the extra money we raised bought a new notice board
0:43:16 > 0:43:19for the community centre, to keep everyone up-to-date.
