0:00:02 > 0:00:05These days, we don't get a chance to connect with the people that
0:00:05 > 0:00:08live in our street. Well, today, all that is going to change,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11because today, we are bringing the whole community together
0:00:11 > 0:00:13in one place, in this street.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14It's an ordinary street,
0:00:14 > 0:00:18but it's home to an extraordinary woman, called Sarah.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21She's spent her life nursing the sick...
0:00:22 > 0:00:26She's always gone above and beyond her duty.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27..but now she and her children are facing
0:00:27 > 0:00:30a family tragedy of their own.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33She's kept herself so strong, to keep the children going.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Her friends and neighbours want her to know she's not alone,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40so we're going to take donated treasures from local people...
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- This is just exactly what we're looking for.- Yes, we'll take that.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46We'll take that. That's something which is quite nice.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49..and a famous sports star,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and sell them in a saleroom, on bric-a-brac stalls,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and at my Street Auction...
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Sold! He's got a guitar! Yeah!
0:00:56 > 0:00:59'..and we'll use the money to do something great for the family,
0:00:59 > 0:01:03'but how will Sarah react when she finds out all of this is for her?'
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Today, we're in Clydach in Wales,
0:01:09 > 0:01:15a little village just north of Swansea, home to just 8,000 people.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20In 2007, this street became home to a young couple, Chris and Sarah.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23We met each other local, in Pontardawe.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26He was with his friends, I was with my friends,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29we had a few drinks. We were together since then, really.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32It was clear from the start that Chris and Sarah were meant
0:01:32 > 0:01:35for each other, as their friends Emma and Michelle recall.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37They were like the perfect couple.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40They even looked similar, they've got similar features.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Every time they phoned each other, it was always, "Love you,"
0:01:44 > 0:01:46on the end and everything.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48They were just soulmates.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Sarah cared for the long-term and terminally ill in the community,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and Chris worked at the local nickel refinery.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58In 2008, their son Alfie was born,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01followed three years later by daughter Mia.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03We just wanted the same things.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05The children came first,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08and then we did plan, you know, eventually getting married,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11and just having a happy home and growing old together,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15and didn't really think any further than that, really.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20But in the summer of 2015, Chris had a seizure and was rushed to A&E.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25She phoned me on the Sunday to say that Chris had been taken ill.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27He'd had fits through the night.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30And I could tell by the look on Sarah's face, coming up the road
0:02:30 > 0:02:34on the school run in the morning, she was beside herself.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38I think she knew it wasn't good news.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41The doctors found Chris had two brain tumours.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44He had operations and began chemotherapy.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Leading up to Christmas was the hardest time.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Sarah took the time out from work to care for Chris herself.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Everything I kind of got on with in work,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00it helped me to look after Chris, made me understand things
0:03:00 > 0:03:03a bit more, but you really don't ever think it's going to hit you.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10Unfortunately, Chris passed away on the 23rd of December.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Chris was just 41 when he died, leaving behind Sarah,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17seven-year-old Alfie, and Mia, who was just four.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20The worst and the hardest thing I've ever had to do is
0:03:20 > 0:03:25to come home, and tell them that Daddy's not coming home any more.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And, you know, Chris was such a massive,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35massive part of their lives. He still is now.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Massive part of their lives. It's tough, you know, every day.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I mean, they speak about Daddy and when Daddy's coming home,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46and it's just hard to tell them he's not.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Most of us would have crumbled
0:03:49 > 0:03:52but Sarah found the strength to think of others, even then.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57Sarah wanted to give something back for the treatment
0:03:57 > 0:04:00and everything that Chris had, cos she thought it was all amazing.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02She's raised quite a bit of money.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07We done "wear a hat day" in school, for all the children,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10and then every year now, we'll be fundraising
0:04:10 > 0:04:13for brain tumour research.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Sarah's done so much for others, we'd love to say a big thank you.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Chris started landscaping their garden before he died
0:04:22 > 0:04:26but didn't have time to complete it, so we want to help finish
0:04:26 > 0:04:30the job for Sarah, but we're going to need to raise £1,500.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35And this is how we're going to do it.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Well, the plan is,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39we ask all of Sarah's friends and neighbours to donate any
0:04:39 > 0:04:41unwanted or unloved items,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43so we can sell them on the street here in a pop-up auction.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Now, that's a big challenge, but the real test is keeping this
0:04:46 > 0:04:50a secret from Sarah and her kids until after the auction.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It's a tough ask, so I've called on car boot specialist
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and upcycling whiz Irina Aggrey to help me.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- Hello, darling, good to see you. - Good to see you too.- Right on time.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- Give us a hug. - Oh, we've got a challenge today.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06OK, tell me about it.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09We're going to knock on as many doors as possible in this street,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11and the adjacent streets, asking for unwanted stuff.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13We're going to fill this lovely van,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16and hopefully have a big pop-up auction with a big street party.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18OK, let's flip a coin.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- You take one side of the street, I'll take the other.- OK.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- You can call, OK?- Tails!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Yes!- You won. - I'm going to take the left street.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27OK, I'll take the right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Which of us will bring in the most donations? Only one way to find out.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Let's hit the streets.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39It's not looking good.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Irina's first to strike lucky, at Donna's.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49If you'd have come last week, I had loads.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52This 24-piece tea set was made by Staffordshire company
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Broadhurst, which has specialised in highly decorative China
0:05:56 > 0:06:00since Victorian times, and this set dates back to 1981.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04It's Lady Diana, to commemorate their wedding,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07when they got married. It's never been out of the box.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Each of the cups and plates is decorated with an important
0:06:10 > 0:06:15royal landmark. Memorabilia like this is an antique of the future,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17and I think this set could be worth over £25.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24My father passed away last July, but he always gave to charity.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26This is just exactly what we're looking for.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29It's in prime condition. It's never been used.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32And the lady's got the original receipt as well.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- The date is on there. Is it '81? - It is.- 1981.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38It turns out that Donna and her husband know Sarah.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- She was caring for Peter's mother. - Really?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Yeah, Peter's mother died three months after my father,
0:06:43 > 0:06:47and lived upstairs, and Sarah was caring.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I didn't meet her, but Pete knows her.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Yeah, carer for my mother. She was lovely.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Very, very, very nice person.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58While Irina's collecting the tea set,
0:06:58 > 0:07:03I'm also on the ceramics trail - to check out Gwilym's attic.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Yeah. You hold the steps for me, at the bottom.- There we are, then.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Is this it?- Yes. - Gosh, it's massive.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Well, this is like an ornamental ceramic case for a mantel clock,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17isn't it? To make the clock look a lot more important,
0:07:17 > 0:07:18- cos it's got quite a small dial. - Aye.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Did you ever have the clock?
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- I did have a clock, but it disintegrated.- Oh, did it?- Aye.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27And it would have struck on the hour, cos that would have had
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- a pendulum, cos that's quite a long drop in there.- Yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I love the decoration. I love the roses. They're hand-painted.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- And all of... You know, it's a beautiful decoration.- Yes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I don't know who the maker is.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41There is a serial number at the bottom,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43which means these were mass-produced, look.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- And they're mass produced from a mould...- Aye.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- ..and then decorated afterwards. - Afterwards.- Yeah.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54This clock cover was probably made around 1890, possibly in France.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58It features a central panel called a cartouche, a scrolling top
0:07:58 > 0:08:02or pediment, and at each side, columns called pilasters.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06It's style is out of fashion right now, but it does have kitsch appeal.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I think if we put this into a proper auction,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10we'll get a proper price for it,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12because I don't think I could sell this on the pop-up rostrum.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I might get about £10 or £20 for it,
0:08:14 > 0:08:16but I think it's worth a lot more than that.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I like the hand-decoration, I love the roses,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I love the fact it's showy.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- How long have you had this? - Oh, I've had it donkey's years.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- How old are you?- I'm 92.- Are you? Gosh, you don't look it!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- I'm 92. - Wow, and here you are, look,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35footing the steps for me, on the top of your landing.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Just down the road, Irina's got wind of something she could upcycle.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42I'm glad I caught you.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Marian's donating a 1950s kitchen unit with loads of potential.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- This was here when I bought the house.- Yeah, it's wonderful.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I could get so much good use out of it, and you know what?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It could get loved again, which is nice.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00It's got lovely details, like this original memo board,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and it's really on trend at the moment.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Refurbished, I reckon this could fetch over £120,
0:09:06 > 0:09:10but in the cold light of day, we spot a problem.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- It's got fresh woodworm.- Oh. - So literally all we do is tap...
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- FRESH woodworm?- Yeah, see? - Oh, God, look at that!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19So, when you tapped that, your finger went straight through it.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I don't think it's going to make it.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24You wouldn't know a good carpenter, would you?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I think you'll need more than a carpenter for that.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- You're thinking the same? - Bonfire would be better.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I think he might be right. Don't know why I'm laughing.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Gareth's not convinced about the kitchen cupboard,
0:09:36 > 0:09:41but he and his wife have got some other donations for us.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Tell me a little bit about these pieces.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49This was my grandmother's, and then my mother's, and then me.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I love the colour, cos it's kind of like a turquoise colour.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- There's that one as well.- Ooh!
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- I could just picture the turkey on that.- Yeah.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00There's almost a whole dinner set here.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01This design's called Cornflour,
0:10:01 > 0:10:05by the Grimwade brothers of Winton Pottery in Stoke.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11This set was made between 1890 and 1900, and could make us £50.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- So this also belonged to your grandmother?- Yeah.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Look at the colours! They're still so vivid, aren't they?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21These Spode plates are decorated with scenes from the life of
0:10:21 > 0:10:22the poet Lord Byron,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25and were produced from the 1930s to the 1960s.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31This four-section sandwich plate could be worth between £5 and £10.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33There's this as well. It's a bit chipped.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- I don't know if it's worth anything. - Yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- And I don't know how old it is. I know it was me mother's.- Really?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- So this was your mother's?- Yeah. - Cos to me, this looks quite current.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47This vase is made from lustreware, a technique where the pottery
0:10:47 > 0:10:50is given an iridescent finish, using metal glaze.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54The damage would affect the value for a collector,
0:10:54 > 0:10:58but I'm sure someone would give us a couple of pounds for it.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00At my next house, Wendy's got a couple of donations for our
0:11:00 > 0:11:04bric-a-brac stall, and it turns out she also knows Sarah.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Her partner was Chris. We knew him quite well.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12You know, he loved the rugby and everything. Yeah.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- My husband used to talk to him about the rugby.- Oh, really?
0:11:14 > 0:11:20Yeah, he did, yeah, yeah. And he was just a lovely guy.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- So sad, isn't it?- Very sad. - Such a sad story.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- And of course, he's so young, as well.- Yeah.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Everywhere we go, we meet people who know Sarah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33As a nurse in the community, looking after the sick and dying,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Sarah's been a support to many local families,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39as her friend and colleague Michelle has seen.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43All the people that we've looked after have thought the world of her.
0:11:43 > 0:11:49She's always going the extra mile to help them and make them smile.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Her and Chris went shopping for one of them to buy him
0:11:53 > 0:11:55a bin to put all his recycling in, and everything.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00She's always going above and beyond her duty.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02But that is just Sarah, anyway.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06This close-knit community took Sarah to its heart,
0:12:06 > 0:12:10just as it did when Chris lost his parents when he was a teenager.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Chris grew up in this village, went to all the local schools.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16You know, it's just the village community,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19they all know each other and all gel together.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22You know, if we went out local and he was there,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24you could always sit and have a drink and have a chat with him.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Chris was one of those few genuinely nice men,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32and you don't see many of them sometimes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35And Chris proved as good a dad as he was a friend.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Chris was a very hands-on father. Even though he done shift work,
0:12:39 > 0:12:43him and Sarah completely split the work with the children.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45It was their main job.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48He love... Loves the children so much.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57When Alfie was born, one of his friends was getting married two days
0:12:57 > 0:13:01after, and he just couldn't wait to take Alfie out to show the world
0:13:01 > 0:13:03his son had been born.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Alfie, I see, has struggled.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12He misses him so much when he's achieving something.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17He plays football, and when he scores a goal, he gives it a bit of
0:13:17 > 0:13:21this, and it's just so sad to watch, because you just can't fix it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25And Mia...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28every time she sees the sun shine...
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Every time she sees the sun shine, or the moon, she says,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38"That's my daddy." It's so sad.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43You keep going.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48You just wake up every day, and you keep going, doing the best you can.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55Chris knew time was short and tried his hardest to complete the work
0:13:55 > 0:13:57that need doing around the house,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00but there was one job he didn't have time to finish.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Since Chris has passed away,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07the garden has just been left as a project unfinished,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10because there's been other things that Sarah's had to deal with
0:14:10 > 0:14:15inside the house, so the garden is as is when Chris passed away.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20So, that's my mission - with the help of Sarah's friends and
0:14:20 > 0:14:23neighbours, I want to raise enough money to make this space into
0:14:23 > 0:14:25the garden Chris dreamed of for his family.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31I think it's amazing that the whole community can get
0:14:31 > 0:14:34involved to just do something nice, something selfless, something
0:14:34 > 0:14:38that's going to make a difference, and she'll be overwhelmed.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40She'll be overwhelmed.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43She deserves this little bit back, to help them move on.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48I'm going to meet Sarah and the kids at home, to see if they'll
0:14:48 > 0:14:52donate something themselves, but I mustn't get rumbled.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Wish me luck - and, hopefully, we can get some kids' things to sell.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Got some things here... - Oh, fantastic.- ..that the kids
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- want to give. It does all work, it's fine.- Have you asked your daughter?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07She's sleeping. Yeah, she done it earlier.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- She said that you could have that.- Are you sure?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Yeah, 100%, yeah, it's fine. - Oh, bless you, thank you.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Oh, that's brilliant! Star Wars Lego, thank you so much.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Star Wars Lego, yeah. Some bits and pieces.- Are you a Lego fan?
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- No.- No? Oh, Lego's brilliant. I was a Lego fan when I was your age.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31- I still am. Oh, hello!- Say hello, Mia.- Hello.- What's your name? Mia?
0:15:31 > 0:15:37- Mia.- Hello. Mummy said you'd been... I hate taking things off kiddies!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Oh, it's all right, isn't it? You helped Mummy, didn't you?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41You've been the best.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Oh, God, this is really good.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I haven't caught you on a bad day, have I? You're not working?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49No, no, I'm not actually in work at the moment.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- What do you do, then? - I work for the NHS...- Oh, do you?
0:15:52 > 0:15:57Yeah, palliative care, long-term health and stuff like that, I do.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58So...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Gosh, have you been doing that long? - Eight years.- Have you?- Yeah.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Do you like doing it?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05We've just been through a tough time at the moment, so...
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. - No, it's all right.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09They lost their dad just before Christmas.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- Oh, really?- Yeah, didn't we? - Oh, I'm sorry.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15But we've got to keep smiling, haven't we, babs? Yeah.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Oh, they're so young.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20I'll just put those there.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28A big, big thank you to all three of you, cos you've given up lots
0:16:28 > 0:16:31to talk to me, and you've donated really, really well, so thank you.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- It's OK. You're welcome.- High-five?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Yeah!- All right, thanks again. - See you then. Bye-bye.- Bye.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Well, I think we got away with it.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Gosh, what a lovely family. What a lovely family.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I would love to have sat down in the back garden and talked to them all
0:16:49 > 0:16:53for a bit longer, but without giving the game away, that wasn't possible.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I think I pushed it right to the limit.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59We haven't got nearly enough items yet to raise the money we need.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Time for a final push.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Hi. Hello. Where's your mum? - She's in the bath.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- So, did Mummy say to bring this down?- Yeah.- They're your donations?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Yeah.- OK, then. So, can you tell me what you've got?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I've got, like, loads of toys in there.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I've got loads of toys I don't need any more, I have.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Teddy bears are the world's most collectable toys,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25and one famous maker is Steiff.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26This one isn't Steiff,
0:17:26 > 0:17:30but the most expensive one ever sold made over £100,000 at auction.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Brilliant. Take care.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Charlie is a very generous girl indeed,
0:17:34 > 0:17:38and I think her bag of goodies will raise over £20.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41At my next house, I stumble on a treasure trove,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44all owned by Peter, who's in a generous mood.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Gosh, you've got a lot of stuff in here.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49If you put that red one in, cos that's the glass, that's nice.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53'Cranberry glass is made by adding gold to molten glass.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55'This modern decanter's worth a few pounds.'
0:17:55 > 0:17:57If you take these...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59There's a matching pair there, eh, Paul?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- OK, thank you. - That would be great, that would.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Lovely matching pair. - Yes, little brass spill vases.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06'Before matches were widely available,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09'at the end of the 19th century, spill vases would have held
0:18:09 > 0:18:13'tapers or twists of paper, which would have been lit from the fire.'
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And we've also got this here. This lovely collector's plate, look.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Look at that.- Would that be nice?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- And you've got the price tag on that.- Yeah.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- There's a price tag on there, as well, which I purchased. - OK. Thank you.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Also, if we put this in, what do you think?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- That will be fabulous for it. - That would be lovely.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33'The plate is moulded with brightly coloured glazes and gilding.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36'Biblical designs like this Adam and Eve scene were popular in
0:18:36 > 0:18:40'Victorian times, and Peter paid over £20 for it.'
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- We've got a little puppy dog here. - Oh, I like the dog.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- Do you like the dog?- He looks nice. - He's got a lovely face, hasn't he?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Kids will love it.- Yeah, they'll love him, the children will be on for that.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54'The dog's head is made from treacle glaze, a dark-brown pottery
0:18:54 > 0:18:59'finish very popular in the 1950s for ornaments and souvenirs.'
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Are you a bit of a trader? Do you do the markets and things?
0:19:02 > 0:19:03I used to, yes.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- I used to do a lot of those. - I can see it.- In the old days.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09'And it keeps coming.'
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- Will that be any good at all?- Yes. We'll take that.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15'This classic Georgian-style candelabra
0:19:15 > 0:19:17'has elegant sweeping arms.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21'It's silver plated, but still could make a few pounds.'
0:19:21 > 0:19:25It's like going into a little antique shop. It's just full of stuff!
0:19:25 > 0:19:29'Meanwhile, Irina's struck gold again with Rachel and her family.'
0:19:29 > 0:19:33These are all little bits that have just been handed down.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36There's a nice little collection of China here.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I think the star item is this little pot.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43It's a pattern called Indian Tree by the Staffordshire pottery company HJ Wood
0:19:43 > 0:19:45and dates back to the 1960s.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It could be worth £10.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Oh, that's lovely. That's just a nice, clean colour.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Very contemporary.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57This glazed jug is made from earthenware,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01a simple pottery made from fired clay.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It might have been a milk jug and it should make a fiver.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Where did you get these from, Helen? They're yours?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I have them from Neath.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Neath Fair.- We'll hold one each.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15They can have a little chat.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20These three figures look like they're carved from acacia wood,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22a dark hardwood with a lovely grain,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25found across Africa and the Far East.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30They're not antique, but someone will surely pay £15 for them.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Back at Peter's, he's found even more things for me!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Wow! This is great for our bric-a-brac stall.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- I've hit Aladdin's cave! - There we are.- Thank you very much.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- That's a nice print, isn't it? - Lovely.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- That's lovely.- That's a special lady there, isn't it?- There you go, look at that. Yes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I think there's £2 or £3 there, as well.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50'This charming rustic study of two sisters
0:20:50 > 0:20:52'is painted in the Victorian style.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56'It's not by a famous artist, but it would be a lovely gift for
0:20:56 > 0:20:59'a mum or a grandmother, and the donations keep on coming.'
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Oh, I love those. - Would they be great?- Yes.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- They'd be fabulous, wouldn't they? - Do you know who made them?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- One of them's from Ireland.- Yeah.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11And the other one is from North Wales. This is a thumb stick.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14'A thumb stick is a walking stick that comes up to chest height.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17'If you rest your thumb in the crook, it makes
0:21:17 > 0:21:20'a very comfortable stick for hiking.'
0:21:20 > 0:21:22There's an old electric guitar down there.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Is that the one over there?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- That's the one you can have. - Oh, thank you.- Yes.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28That's brilliant. I see money, money, money.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32'At the 11th hour, Peter's come to the rescue
0:21:32 > 0:21:35'and helped me fill my side of the van.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38'Irina's still has got one last house call to make -
0:21:38 > 0:21:39'at another of Sarah's friends,
0:21:39 > 0:21:43'also called Sarah, who's having a clear out.'
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Nice. Celine Dion. Oh, my God! I love her as a singer.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47- Do you like her?- Yes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49New items, always handy.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51That means none of the pieces are missing.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54As well as the perfume, Sarah is donating some games.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56As a mum, she understands what
0:21:56 > 0:21:58we're trying to achieve for her friend.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01It'll be nice for them to have the garden done and have
0:22:01 > 0:22:06something out there to remember Chris at the back of the garden.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07So the kids can go there,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10like a bench or something to put there so they can go out
0:22:10 > 0:22:13there to speak and have a think and talk about their father.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16That's what they miss, going somewhere to talk.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19That's the end of our rummage.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's time to take a look at what we've collected and see which
0:22:23 > 0:22:26of us has gathered the most.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27I tell you what...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Kind of even-stevens, what do you think?
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- It does look like it, doesn't it? It really does.- Pretty equal.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- But, look, I'd like to start off with this.- I know!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Because I think that is fantastic. - I love it. Can you see...
0:22:38 > 0:22:39- It's just wonderful.- I can see it.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42It's so retro and that's why I've been trying my hardest to find
0:22:42 > 0:22:45a carpenter, a local carpenter who can restore this.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I haven't had much luck, but there could be a strong possibility.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I just need to give him a call back later.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52He might be able to do something with this.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Carved doggies which I think are quite quirky, quite... Quite kitsch.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- With the mixed blue and white. - Yeah.- Bit of Edwardian.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Doesn't that say "over the top"? - Oh, my God.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- It's just flamboyant, isn't it? - It is, yeah.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Unbelievable. Is this hand-painted?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Yeah, it is hand-painted.- Amazing.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13I mean, it's gaudy, gaudy, but it looks brilliant.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15'Someone's also donated this.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18'It's a Napoleon clock, because it looks like his famous hat,
0:23:18 > 0:23:22'and it probably dates back to the 1920s.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25'We've got some great stuff and I think we'll send three items
0:23:25 > 0:23:27'to the saleroom.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31'The ceramic clock mount,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34'Napoleon clock and the Royal Wedding tea set.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39'Irina's given herself quite a challenge with her upcycling task.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42'Everything else will go to our bric-a-brac stalls
0:23:42 > 0:23:44'and the pop-up auction.'
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Well done.- I know. Put it there, partner.- Well done, well done.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52It's the day of our street auction and we're not going to let
0:23:52 > 0:23:54a little bit of rain get us down.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57We've only a got a few hours until we're open for business.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Our van's piled high with finds from the rummage day,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03so everyone's pitching in to help.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08We've got stalls to set up and a street to transform.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11All of this area is ours to have some fun with today and,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14hopefully, in a few hours' time,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17the community will start to gravitate towards this street.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Everybody in the surrounding neighbourhood will come together
0:24:20 > 0:24:22as one, big, powerful unit to have
0:24:22 > 0:24:25a great time and raise lots of money for Sarah.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29We've recruited a team of local helpers and, of course,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32one of the first to volunteer was Sarah herself.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Morning, everyone. Good morning, good morning.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41I see you've all met Irina. You've got sashes on.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44We're going to get the stuff out from underneath the tables,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47the bric-a-brac. We're going to find stations for everything.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Big smiles on your face, OK? Don't let the weather put you off.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I know it's going to change and hundreds of people will turn up.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Right, we can make this work, can't we?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Yes.- Yes? Ready for this, team?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Yes! THEY CHEER
0:25:00 > 0:25:03We'll be selling refreshments in the community hall later
0:25:03 > 0:25:06but, in the meantime, I'm going to get the drinks in.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Cup of tea?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Cup of tea? There's a couple of coffees and some water there.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14'And I'm not going to go hungry. Jan's been busy baking.'
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Some Welsh cakes, which is traditional. Welsh.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18- Did you make these?- Yes.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- You can try them if you like. - Oh, good.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I'll try one now.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24THEY LAUGH
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Do you know Sarah? - Yes, I do.- You do.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30She's been marvellous, so strong after her husband died at
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Christmas time. Well, it was only two days before.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35She's a lovely girl. My heart goes out to her, really.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38'We've got to do our best for Sarah and I think some of our
0:25:38 > 0:25:41'donations could raise quite a lot for the cause.'
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Remember that 1950s stand-alone kitchen cabinet?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Well, fingers crossed, it's...
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Well, it's here.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Irina!- I know. Yeah.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- This is...- Our '50s retro cabinet.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I needed an expert to give me some advice and suggest something,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02so I got a carpenter to have a look at it.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04He thought he could do something with it,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07but then only when he took it back to his workshop, started
0:26:07 > 0:26:10taking away all the rotten bits of woodworm and things like that...
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- He realised how bad it was.- Yeah.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Guess some things are salvageable and some aren't.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17'But there is some good news -
0:26:17 > 0:26:20'the carpenter's donating a piece of furniture of his own for us
0:26:20 > 0:26:23'to sell and we'll find out what it looks like soon.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29'I'll be auctioning off a few special items later, but we're
0:26:29 > 0:26:32'really going to need the crowds to come and brave the weather.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36'Time for a progress check on the stalls.'
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Look at these.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Oh, wow!
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I've never seen a Christmas teapot before.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Not convinced.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Now, what has that carpenter donated?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Look! Look at that - it's beautiful!
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Almost looks French.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57It's like a light turquoise blue. Look at the detail on the legs.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01It's in good nick. It's in good working order!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04It's not going to fall apart on us. That's the best bit.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I was worried the rain would keep people away, but it looks like
0:27:07 > 0:27:10the whole village has turned out -
0:27:10 > 0:27:15and the primary school choir is getting everyone in the party mood.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18# There's a tiny caterpillar on a leaf
0:27:18 > 0:27:22# Wiggle, wiggle, munch, munch, spin, spin, flap, flap
0:27:22 > 0:27:26# There's a tiny caterpillar on a leaf
0:27:26 > 0:27:30# Wiggle, wiggle, munch, munch, spin, spin, flap, flap

0:27:37 > 0:27:42# Wiggle, wiggle, munch, munch, spin, spin, flap, flap. #
0:27:42 > 0:27:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:46 > 0:27:49And with that it's time to get our street auction officially open.
0:27:49 > 0:27:56- ALL:- Five, four, three, two, one, go!
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Let's do it!
0:27:57 > 0:28:00CHEERING AND LAUGHTER
0:28:01 > 0:28:06We've got such fantastic bric-a-brac, let's start selling.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13Peter's pooch quickly finds a new home, as does Sarah's perfume set.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18And someone's fallen in love with Gareth and Ceranne's dinner set.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I like this kind of chic vintage.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It makes us a brilliant £12.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25That's £12, please.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Thank you very much.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30All the stalls get off to a great start and there's plenty of
0:28:30 > 0:28:32other entertainment for young...
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Hello. Look at that smile.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35..and old.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37HE LAUGHS
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Vroom-vroom!
0:28:41 > 0:28:43We've just heard that Swansea City Football Club
0:28:43 > 0:28:46have heard about what we are doing here today and they want to get
0:28:46 > 0:28:48involved. It's the local team, obviously.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50So they've sent the club ambassador down, an ex-player,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53to donate a couple of items that I can auction off.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Hi.- Hi, Paul. Are you OK? It's Lee Trundle.- You played for the club?
0:28:56 > 0:29:01- Yeah, I played for the club for five years and now I'm club ambassador and coach.- Great. OK.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04And you've brought down a signed ball, a brand-new ball.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06And that's autographed by all the players.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Yeah, autographed by everyone.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Obviously we've got the Welsh captain there, Ashley Williams,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- as well, who done great in the Euros.- Fantastic.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16- Every player will be on there.- Do you know what? That's put the value up, hasn't it?- It has.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Thank you so much. I'll do a header for you. Ready?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28'Before we auction off this special ball, Lee is going to help
0:29:28 > 0:29:30'me smash my personal best.'
0:29:35 > 0:29:37HE LAUGHS
0:29:37 > 0:29:40'23 headers, back of the net.'
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Thank you so much for the donation.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45'I'm sure we'll hit the target with the football donations.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49'And luckily enough, there are lots of Swans fans around here.'
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- He smells lovely. - Does he smell good?- Yeah.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Do you think we can auction him off today? - THEY LAUGH
0:29:56 > 0:30:00'Inside, the refreshment room is doing a roaring trade.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04'And Sarah's daughter Mia is getting a whole new look.'
0:30:04 > 0:30:07You look so pretty. How does that look?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09What do you think Mummy will say? Will she like it?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I think Mummy will, won't she?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- Oh, bless her. Bless her. - She's so sweet.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- You're very good.- Thank you.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- You are very, very, very good. Do you know, I'd have a go...- Yes.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I would have a go but I think I'm going to do it after the auction.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25I think on the rostrum painted up, it wouldn't look right, would it?
0:30:25 > 0:30:27You'd like a little tiger mouth.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Everyone's enjoying the day.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36Now our volunteers are doing a great job of raising cash.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41But don't forget, we sent three items off to a saleroom auction.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44And our auctioneer is James Lewis.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Irina's first find, the royal memorabilia.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49It's surely worth over £25.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Our Charles and Diana commemorative tea service.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57Unusual lot. 10, £10 waving at the back. Thank you, sir.
0:30:57 > 0:31:0010. 12 do I see? At £10, 12 now.
0:31:00 > 0:31:06At 12. It's on the internet at £12. Anybody else? At 12.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07£12.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Someone's got a bargain. Next, the French clock case.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I predicted it would make well over £20.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16£5. Anybody want that?
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Go on. Well done, sir. Thank you. At £5 it's going.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22At 5, and it's with you at £5.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Turns out ceramic clock covers really are out of fashion.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Finally, it's the 1920s Napoleon clock and I'm hoping this
0:31:31 > 0:31:34will make £18 to £20.
0:31:34 > 0:31:40At £10. 12 do I see? Blimey, that's cheap. 12. 15. And 18 beats it. £18.
0:31:40 > 0:31:46And 20 now. How about 21? I'm not proud. Every pound counts for this.
0:31:46 > 0:31:5121. 22. 22. 23. With you at 22. 23 do I see?
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- GAVEL BANGS - Yours for 22.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57So we've made £39 from our three items in the saleroom.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59This calls for drastic measures.
0:31:59 > 0:32:05We've got to sell, sell, sell if we're going to hit our target of £1,500.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Ladies and gentlemen, could I have your attention, please?
0:32:08 > 0:32:13There is ten minutes to go before we stop selling on all the stalls.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16So this is the final big push.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Everything for sale now, every single item, is £1.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32It's so moving to see the whole village coming together to
0:32:32 > 0:32:34support one of their own.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37They turned out in their hundreds and they've given up their
0:32:37 > 0:32:40treasures, baked us cakes, and handed over their cash.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45And all for a young mum who's been through so much.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I just hope we've managed to do Sarah proud.
0:32:48 > 0:32:56# You'll never walk alone. #
0:32:58 > 0:33:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:33:03 > 0:33:05So emotional.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08And with that, the stalls have closed and there's just my pop-up
0:33:08 > 0:33:13auction left to come. But there's another surprise.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I've just heard some brilliant news.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16A local industry -
0:33:16 > 0:33:19in fact, it's a nickel refinery where Chris used to work -
0:33:19 > 0:33:22has heard about what we're doing here for Sarah.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28And they are donating £500 towards our cause, which is just fantastic.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31It really is. That's going to go a long, long way.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36The £500 will be added to what we made in the saleroom
0:33:36 > 0:33:41and on our stalls. I set us a huge target of £1,500.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43But how have we done so far?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45You've just seen the figures.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47We've already hit our target.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50We've done just over £1,500, which means what I do on the rostrum
0:33:50 > 0:33:52now is a real bonus.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55So let's go out there, let's smash it, and let's work really hard.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for turning up, and I tell you what,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02we've managed to have a whole street party in the rain.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05And it hasn't stopped raining, but hasn't stopped us, has it?
0:34:05 > 0:34:06So let's make it a grand finale.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Please, please, please, bid generously. Dig deep, OK?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12We need every penny we can get.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20'Time for me to come clean.'
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Now we've told a few fibs to one person here today,
0:39:23 > 0:39:25in order to get her here.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Most of you know why we're here and who this is for, but they don't.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35This person deserves it so much. And she is here today.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39And I'd just like to say, if you can hear me now,
0:39:39 > 0:39:41that it's been rather an emotional time
0:39:41 > 0:39:45for all of us to learn about her story and her personal loss.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50Despite her personal loss, she's carried on helping other people.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53She's a very loving and caring mother.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56She's a great friend to be with and she's a great laugh.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00And she will carry on helping people because she was born to help people.
0:40:00 > 0:40:06And she is here. It's Sarah Bruce, it's Alfie and Mia.
0:40:06 > 0:40:07APPLAUSE
