0:00:02 > 0:00:04Here in the UK, our streets in cities,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07towns and villages reflect the different cultures and lifestyles we
0:00:07 > 0:00:10all lead. Today, this community is going to celebrate the work of one
0:00:10 > 0:00:14man who does all he can to unite the people, to pull them together,
0:00:14 > 0:00:17to celebrate one common goal - football.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21So we're holding a street party and pop-up auction to raise money just
0:00:21 > 0:00:23for him. Three, two, one!
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Let's do it! CHEERING
0:00:27 > 0:00:30We'll be pulling out all the stops to raise the cash...
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Wow, it's like Aladdin's cave in here.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Oh, I love getting in these sheds, Graham.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- He's a terrible man. - Oh, don't worry.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41..and sharing top tips on valuables you might find in your home.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45It's glazed earthenware, and I love this turquoise and blue,
0:00:45 > 0:00:46the drip glaze on it there.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50I'm really happy with this piece, it's a nice, solid wood table.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53The legs have been turned. There's a lovely grain on the top.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55But will we hit our target?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Fair warning. Sold! APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Today, the hunt for treasures and antiques has brought us to Plymouth.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11It's a city famous for its naval and seafaring past.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17The Mayflower set sail from here in 1620, in search of the New World.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21One man who made the journey to Plymouth and made it his home
0:01:21 > 0:01:23is David Feindouno.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27David came to the UK in 2005,
0:01:27 > 0:01:32when he was forced to flee his home country of Guinea, West Africa,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34during turbulent times in the country.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37It wasn't an easy journey.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I mean, you are interrogated, and as a human being, it doesn't matter
0:01:40 > 0:01:44what your background is and what you come from, what you've done,
0:01:44 > 0:01:45what your race is,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49you know, when your dignity can get taken away, you lose confidence and
0:01:49 > 0:01:51therefore you have no self-esteem.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55His friend Graham knows how difficult David's first experiences
0:01:55 > 0:01:57in the UK were.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01I know he came through an asylum system, which I can imagine for
0:02:01 > 0:02:03anybody must be very difficult.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05English wasn't his first language.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07It is a negative experience.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11You now, no-one would want to go through the asylum system, simple as that.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15And as you can tell, some people don't even want to talk about their
0:02:15 > 0:02:18own experience for various reasons, because it breaks you down.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23David's own experiences gave him the drive to help others.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26He now works for the Red Cross in Plymouth,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30helping to settle displaced and frightened refugees
0:02:30 > 0:02:32when they arrive here.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Maybe that kind of helped me a little bit, to actually
0:02:35 > 0:02:38think, you know, it's not about what happens,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41but it's about doing something positive.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46As soon as he came to Plymouth, he had an immediate impact.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49He brings people of all different races and backgrounds together,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52through a shared love of sport.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55One of the things that definitely breaks down barriers worldwide is
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- football.- People loved the fact that it was open to everyone.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01People loved the fact that it was free.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05And people loved the fact that it was really welcoming.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08As a way of recognising all the work David has done over
0:03:08 > 0:03:12the years, we want to pay for a break for him and his family.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17It's going to cost £1,000, and here is how we're going to raise it.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19We've asked all of David's friends,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23family and neighbours to donate any unwanted or unloved items they have
0:03:23 > 0:03:27gathering dust in the house, the garage, or the garden shed,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30so we can sell them here, at a street party and pop-up auction.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32And the best bit about it is
0:03:32 > 0:03:36David hasn't got a clue all of this is for him.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39It's a huge task. I can't do it by myself.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43So I drafted in the help of a couple of experts who have a great eye for
0:03:43 > 0:03:45items that will make money.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Auctioneer Izzy Balmer knows a thing or two about antiques,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and Danny Sebastian is a dealer with the gift of the gab.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59They arrived here a few weeks ago, to get the ball rolling,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01and this is how they got on.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I tell you what, nice neck of the woods, isn't it, Plymouth?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Yeah, it's lovely, I didn't realise it was so hilly.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Well, I think we've got a fair task ahead of us today.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12A bit of fun for all.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16I think I'm going to take the top of the street and work downwards.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Danny, you're making me walk up the street?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- You're younger than me. I'll probably meet you in the middle. - SHE LAUGHS
0:04:21 > 0:04:22- See you later.- Bye.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Izzy and Danny are in competition to see who can find the best items,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30but, right now, they're not off to a good start.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I'm so sorry, I can see that I've just woken you up.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- Yeah.- Have you got anything for me? - No.- Generally...- Can't do it, sorry.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43That's how you get rid of Danny.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45But things are looking up for Izzy.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Thank you. Well, this is a start. We have, I must admit we've been struggling, but thank you.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- This is really, really superb. - No problem.- Thanks very much. Bye-bye.- Bye.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57A box of goodies, including some snow globes and china dolls.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59These dolls are modern,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03but antique porcelain dolls can be worth hundreds of pounds.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06First made in France and Germany in the 1850s,
0:05:06 > 0:05:11so-called bisque dolls are made with unglazed porcelain and are very
0:05:11 > 0:05:13collectable.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Izzy's also been given a gaming chair.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It's a great start, but how is Danny getting on?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I've got to watch Izzy, she's coming up the road.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22I don't want her on my territory.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28With Izzy off to a flying start, Danny's feeling the pressure.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- How's it going?- Well, I'm just finding it a little bit
0:05:31 > 0:05:34easier going down the hill than what it probably is you coming up.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- How's that van looking? - Er, empty.- Is it?
0:05:37 > 0:05:38I've got one item. How about you?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Nowt.- Oh, so I'm doing better than you?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Well, listen....- I've got one item. - You've heard that story about
0:05:43 > 0:05:46the tortoise and the hare, I'm sure. I've not lost faith in myself.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Come on, where's the Danny magic gone?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53And Izzy even has time for some gardening tips, while Mum goes off
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- in search of some stuff. - But these will stain,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59so you mustn't touch these, because they'll make your clothes all dirty.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04A whole pile of things, including some vintage style roller-skates.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Pairs like these can fetch up to £50.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11But it's Danny who needs to get his skates on,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13and I don't think a visit to the pub is going to help.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Just wondering at all whether you've got anything you'd wish to donate?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- I've got an old table. - Follow you?- Yeah.- Right you are.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23An old table, solid wood, I don't use any more,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- so you're more than welcome to have that.- That's absolutely fantastic.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Sort of thing we're looking for, really. We'll take them.- No problem.- Lovely.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Thank you very much.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I'm really happy with this piece, it's a nice, solid wood table.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Nowadays, it's all made out of sort of MDF.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Mmm. Not the sort of stuff I like. But this is quite beautiful.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45The legs have been turned, there's a lovely grain on the top.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Guaranteed £20-£25 when we've gave a little bit of a spruce up.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51I agree, Danny. I love this.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Pub furniture is built to last.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- The only thing I've got is an old coffee table.- No, that would be brilliant!- Would it?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59That would be brilliant.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Not to be outdone, Izzy has found something to match.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Got this fabulous little coffee table.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I quite like this, actually. I think it's sweet.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's sort of in a country style,
0:07:09 > 0:07:10and what's great about it is...
0:07:12 > 0:07:15lift up the lid and hide all those...all the clutter away.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18To be honest with you, it could probably just do with a little
0:07:18 > 0:07:21bit of a sand down and maybe a re-varnish, but it doesn't need much doing to it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24It might be something that Paul would be interested in.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25You're right, Izzy,
0:07:25 > 0:07:29but first it needs a lick of paint to spruce it up.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32As Izzy gets to grip with her table, Danny's on a roll.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Shall we come in?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- Yeah?- Aliyah has her own reasons why she wants to donate as much as she
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- can.- We are in the month of Ramadan right now, and with fasting,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47we are very encouraged to donate whatever we can.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Mainly money, your clothes, whatever you can.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54There is enough for a whole toy store here,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57and Aliyah has also got some insight on the local area.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Very nice community.- Really nice.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02They are very friendly if you go out, if you need help.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Because when I came here, I didn't know anybody here, and then slowly,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09slowly, I get to know the community, like the Muslim community as well,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12and the people from the mosque and people from school.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14It's an impressive donation.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Old toys can sometimes fetch hundreds of pounds.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21It's always worth having a dig around the attic
0:08:21 > 0:08:23for forgotten teddy bears and dolls.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26And whilst Izzy is in search of her next find,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Danny goes to meet Claris,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32David's wife, to find out a bit more about the man this is all for.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Hello, there. Are you all right? - Good, thank you.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Is it...Charis? - Claris.- Claris.- Yeah.- Is David here?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42No, no, no. He's at work, so we are safe.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Yeah, because we've got to keep it secret, haven't we?- Yeah, definitely.- Yes.- Definitely.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49I mean, I really want to know a little bit about David, to be honest,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Claris.- He is very, very positive,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54always encouraging others and, do your best,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57don't let your situation, you know,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00change who you are or what you want to become.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02So, yeah, he is
0:09:02 > 0:09:04a very positive person, yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09David's positivity saw him through a hard time in 2005,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12when he was forced to make the difficult decision
0:09:12 > 0:09:14to leave his homeland of Guinea.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17He was on his way back home from a rally with his uncle,
0:09:17 > 0:09:21and then they just found out that they were being chased up.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23And then, when he got home,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26everything was smashed and it was a complete disaster,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29because you don't expect things like that to happen.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33The country wasn't stable, but he never expected that it could,
0:09:33 > 0:09:34you know, happen to him.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39When David left, Guinea was in turmoil
0:09:39 > 0:09:40and on the edge of civil war.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- REPORTER:- It's not safe.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46A local cameraman filmed the Guinea army recently, as it retook
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- this area from rebels. - CHEERING AND CHANTING
0:09:49 > 0:09:53The Guinean military is just one of the well-armed groups battling for
0:09:53 > 0:09:57control of diamond mines in this border area before the gemstones are
0:09:57 > 0:10:00smuggled out to markets in Western Europe.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06The country had been living under a military regime for most of David's
0:10:06 > 0:10:09life, and in the year 2000, tensions boiled over
0:10:09 > 0:10:12between Guinea and its neighbouring countries.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16If you found yourself caught up, you needed to get away,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18and basically to save your future.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22So it was impossible any more for me to, to carry on living in Guinea,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25and I had to, have to leave and move out.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29So that is what led me to, to come to the UK.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32David left his home and his family, virtually overnight,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34at the age of 21.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's not something that you wish to happen.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I think it's something that you wish you could plan.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42But, unfortunately, with the circumstances
0:10:42 > 0:10:45around, around it, it wasn't planned, so it wasn't great.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Despite going through such a difficult time,
0:10:49 > 0:10:54he has now turned his life around and uses those experiences to help
0:10:54 > 0:10:58others who find themselves in a similar situation.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01You always try to use that experience of arriving here,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04what it was like in the first place, what you went through.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06And it is something that, for me personally,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I always want to use, because I don't want to see anyone else going
0:11:09 > 0:11:11through the same process.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14The least I could do is to always share that experience
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- and help them. - What an inspiring man.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21Let's hope we can raise our target of £1,000 to send him and his family
0:11:21 > 0:11:23on a well-deserved break.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Back on David's street, Danny is in his element.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Yeah, just come at the right time.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Uh-huh?- Am I in your way here?- No, no, not at all.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Shall we go in and have a look? - Yeah, come on in.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Oh, I love getting in these sheds, Graham.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44What's going on in the back there? I can see there's a lot going on there.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Staplers and tools.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Can I get in there?- He's a terrible man!- Oh, don't worry. - LAUGHTER
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Oh, I tell you what you can have is that one.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Go on.- It needs cleaning. - Is that American?- Yes.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Oh, when did they start making them in Britain, then?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I don't know, but it belonged to my dad, and he got it in the war.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06This Stanley plane is a bit rusty,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09but tools are real collector's items.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Refurbished ones can sell for over £400
0:12:12 > 0:12:14and names like Stanley and Mosley & Son
0:12:14 > 0:12:17are the ones to look out for.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Graham's not done yet. The tools keep coming.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- That's a clamp.- Yeah.- And a bit of that... Keep it coming.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26We'll get a carrier bag when we get inside.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Don't worry, Graham. We'll get a carrier bag. Keep it coming.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31It's always nice when you get a bit of a clear-out as well,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Graham. - You're a terror, you are. - Out with the old, in with the new.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38De-icer, they'll use that later. Don't worry, we'll sell it for a pound. We'll get it on the
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- bric-a-brac stall.- There. - LAUGHTER
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- You've stripped me. - Have I stripped you?- Yeah, you've stripped me.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- It's a number five, that is. - Yeah.- Number five.- Is it?- Oh, aye.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- You know all about it, do you?- Well, it's got number five on the bottom here.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53LAUGHTER
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Graham thinks he's got more stuff upstairs.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59It's raining jumpers.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Oh, that's lovely. I'll tell you what, that...
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Keep it, keep it coming.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07- That's it.- Are you sure?- Yeah!- Keep it coming if you want, Graham.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10LAUGHTER Thanks, Graham. It all adds up.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13The tools and the clothes will do nicely.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- I'll shut the door behind me. - Yeah.- Thanks very much, Graham.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Thank you. Bye-bye.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- Bye-bye now.- Meanwhile, Izzy's good start has ground to a halt.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I think I've only got an armful of items.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29But the sun is shining and I refuse to be defeated and I'm going to keep
0:13:29 > 0:13:32on going. I am determined to get more stuff.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35It's not long before she spots someone.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- That's all I've got handy, I'm afraid.- Thank you very much. Thank you.- That's all right.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42That's another armful for the bric-a-brac stall,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and Danny is starting to feel more positive.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46This seems to be all coming to this afternoon.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49This morning was very, very difficult,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51and this afternoon, it all seems to be coming to.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54But the van is still not full.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59The only way to fill the van is to keep knocking on those doors.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01I just wondered,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04do you have anything that you would perhaps be able to donate, or any
0:14:04 > 0:14:07couple of things you might be able to donate?
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Um, yes I'm sure, I'm sure we can find something.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Whilst Izzy uses her charm...
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- How are you?- ..Danny spots a familiar face from earlier.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- You were there this morning, you woke me up.- Where was...? Oh, round the corner?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Yeah, 62.- With the dogs?- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- I tell you what...- Give me 20 minutes.- ..you scrub up well!
0:14:26 > 0:14:27LAUGHTER
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Hey, about 20 minutes.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31We'll see you about just before three o'clock.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Nice one.- Sounds promising!
0:14:33 > 0:14:36And Danny's luck is really starting to change.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Follow you? Cor, this is a big old house, isn't it?
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- It is, yeah.- Another good haul, including this dartboard...
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Is there a dartboard in there? - ..which is in great condition.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Oh, lovely. Ooh!
0:14:47 > 0:14:51New ones with a complete set of darts go for about £60.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Back at the antique shop, and Izzy has got her hands on some gems.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- You're welcome to that.- Thank you!
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Thank you very much.- You should make money on that.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01She also gets a framed painting...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03That's a watercolour of a galleon.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- You are welcome to that.- Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- ..and a rococo-style mirror. - Impressive mirror.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Yeah, but it's a repro. You're welcome to that.- Thank you.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- It looks impressive from a distance. - It does look it, actually, yeah.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18But what else has caught her eye?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21A Victorian chamber pot. It is enamelled.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Sort of like a tin enamelling. It's in good condition.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28It just amuses me, and I can't wait to show it to Danny.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31And, finally, John digs out a crystal paperweight.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Oh, lovely! That's really beautiful.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Glass paperweights first gained popularity in the mid-19th century,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41and they're still very collectable today.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43John has been really generous.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I particularly like the rococo-style mirror.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Rococo was a French 18th-century artistic movement
0:15:50 > 0:15:53which valued all things elaborate,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55and this piece is certainly that.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00I might like the mirror, but Izzy has a soft spot for the jardiniere.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Absolutely love this jardiniere.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07It's Victorian, it's probably circa 1890, 1900, something like that,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10and it's in the style of majolica.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Majolica was very popular in 19th-century England.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16It's glazed earthenware. I love the colour pattern.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I love this sort of turquoise and blue,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20the drip, sort of, glaze on it there.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23And I think it definitely needs to go to the saleroom, and
0:16:23 > 0:16:28you know what, I think we could probably get £40, maybe £50.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I love it and I really hope someone else does, too.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Back with Danny, and he's finally got into John's house.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37This is quite nice. It's a nice bit of art glass.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39No cracks, no chips.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43I'm sure this is going to go very well on our bric-a-brac stall.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47As well as the vase, he's donated a suit and a welder's mask.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I like this. It's something different, it's something nice.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- I'm sure it's worth a few quid as well.- It is.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It looks very... You've got the gloves and everything in there,
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- haven't you?- John also offered to volunteer on the day.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Is it a really nice community around here? Do you think they'll really
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- sort of embrace what we're trying to do here?- It's a lovely community.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- They will come together. Without a shadow of a doubt.- John, you are a good man. Thanks very much.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Thanks, mate.- See you soon. - With all this goodwill,
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Izzy wants to find out a bit more about David's community work and the
0:17:14 > 0:17:17football team he set up.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20So she's secretly meeting his colleague, Cara.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24I have heard that David has sort of founded Hope FC.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- What... Can you tell me more about that?- We, at the Red Cross, refer a
0:17:28 > 0:17:30lot of our clients to Hope FC.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Not only do we refer people to
0:17:32 > 0:17:35the actual, you know, football club,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38but Hope FC runs activities
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- for women and youth as well. - What is he like as a person?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Dave, he's easy to get along with.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I think he's a highly respected member of our community,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51but that doesn't make him untouchable, if that makes sense.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54He's the kind of guy you can kick a football around with,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57and he engages, you know, very openly and is well-liked
0:17:57 > 0:18:00within the community, but he's also very well-respected.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04He, as a person, has definitely changed lives.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07And I think he's an extremely humble person.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11David started the football team, Hope FC, in 2008,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14when he was waiting for his asylum claim to be finalised.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18I thought it would be great to do something to bring people together.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21First of all, you know, cos I love playing football every day,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24and was also to send a strong message to people who arrive here,
0:18:24 > 0:18:29to actually say, "You have come in a new country, it is down to you to be open, more open,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32"and allow people to welcome you,"
0:18:32 > 0:18:35and by showing an example of bringing people together.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38But if you isolate yourself by doing activities that are
0:18:38 > 0:18:41just for people from your country of origin,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43then you're not really giving a strong message.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46So, therefore, I just had the passion to do something to bring
0:18:46 > 0:18:49everybody, everybody together.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Hope FC welcomes people from all countries and backgrounds,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55and there are often eight nationalities
0:18:55 > 0:18:57represented on the pitch.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Asylum seekers, refugees and local Plymouth people
0:19:00 > 0:19:03get together every week to kick a football around.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Hope FC is really important, because it helps everyone to mix
0:19:07 > 0:19:10together, especially if you are new and you don't know anyone.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12They just include you in everything.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15All of them are really nice, you know, they're like a family,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18and they accepted me as soon as I played with them.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20We do have a multicultural environment.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22We do love each other.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25It just doesn't teach how to win,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28but it teaches you how to keep faith, even if the things
0:19:28 > 0:19:31doesn't go in the way you want.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Plymouth is known as a dispersal city, which means hundreds of new
0:19:34 > 0:19:39asylum seekers are sent here from all over the country every year.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Different place, different faces, they don't know anyone,
0:19:43 > 0:19:47so it's really hard to adapt and to...
0:19:47 > 0:19:49mix with other people, yeah.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53When I came here, I think it was difficult,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56because English is not my first language.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57But now I am happy, so happy.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01When my English is good, I talk with people, I have more than one friend.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Yeah, this is good now.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Helping asylum seekers and refugees is something David is familiar with
0:20:07 > 0:20:10in his work with the Red Cross.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I've simply loved helping people.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16I mean, partly because of my own personal issue and background, and I
0:20:16 > 0:20:19had known what I had gone through.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23And I was really passionate to actually, not just sit back and observe,
0:20:23 > 0:20:27but actually get involved and support people who are going through the process.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29So that, that was my passion.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33David set up a few initiatives to help desperate and vulnerable people
0:20:33 > 0:20:35arriving in the city.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39It gives people in crisis a helping hand when they arrive,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- often with nothing. - David was amazing.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Telling us about the football, about the help, how we can integrate.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50So, for me, yeah, he's an amazing boss.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Yeah, he deserves all the best.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58And with the end of the day looming,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02it's time for Danny and Izzy to grab those last few items.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06That's it!
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Let's see what the generous people of Plymouth have donated, and
0:21:10 > 0:21:14what will make us the most money towards our total.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17What's your favourite pieces? Talk me through some of you lots.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Well, I like my chamber pot.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Nice Victorian tin-glazed chamber pot there.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25And a nice bit of Swarovski crystal.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29We've got the Victorian watercolour of the marine scene, which being in
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Plymouth, thought should go down well.- Absolutely.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Mirror. I really like my mirror.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37It is repro, but I just think it's such a statement piece, and it looks so grand, and it's...
0:21:37 > 0:21:40The sort of piece that might go well on Paul's pop-up thing?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Well, I thought that, maybe, yes.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46You're right, I'd love to sell that. Izzy's certainly done well.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- What about Danny?- I've got a bit of a higgledy-piggledy lot, to be honest.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52We've got plenty of games, we've got jigsaws.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54You know, there's some nice things.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58There's plenty of stuff, but we need something to send to the saleroom.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Maybe there's some value in their star items.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Now, what's Izzy got?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Danny, I've got this jardiniere, and I absolutely love it.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- What do you think? - Nice piece, isn't it?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I love it. Sort of late Victorian, early Edwardian.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16And I think this is one, maybe, to send to the saleroom.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Well, my star lot, do you want to know where it is?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Yes.- That's the baby.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24OK, tell me about this, Danny. Shall I rescue this from you?
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Rescue this from me.- Let's take this.- I'd say about 1940s oak table.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Solid wood, lovely grain on the top.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I even think it could probably get away with a little bit of upcycling.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36How much do you reckon it could fetch, Danny?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Well I'd like to think that can achieve 20, 30, maybe even £40.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43That's one item to be upcycled. Is there anything else?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45For me, I think my coffee table,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49it doesn't need a huge amount doing to it. Probably quite a quick job.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51But I think that could benefit from...
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- A little freshen-up?- Yes.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55And next, the items for the saleroom.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00- Well, I think, probably the jardiniere and the Victorian watercolour.- Good choice.- Yes,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04those are great items, and I think the saleroom is the best place for them.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07But I need something to sell on my pop-up auction.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I think the dartboard should go on Paul's pop-up auction.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Inside, you've got all the darts, and he's quite a sporty chap is our Paul.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Well, I was thinking for Paul, the chamber pot.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Partly because it amuses me, and partly I'm hoping Paul will have fun
0:23:19 > 0:23:23selling that one. The Swarovski crystal and the mirror.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- The fantastic mirror. - What's it all worth?
0:23:26 > 0:23:31You know, I'm going to go in and say around about £120 for the lot.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I mean, I don't want to sound too smug, Danny, but I do have some nice
0:23:34 > 0:23:39bits. There's not a huge amount of it, so I probably would only be
0:23:39 > 0:23:42looking at 250, maybe £300.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45I think you've won this one, Izzy, haven't you? Hands down.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- I don't like to say, Danny.- Hands down, I think you've won this one. - SHE LAUGHS
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Hmm, I tell you what, you're getting too good at this game, aren't you?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Give us your hand here. Nice one.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Well done.- Well done, Izzy.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58It's just as well you'll be joining me at the street party
0:23:58 > 0:24:00and pop-up auction.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Finally, the big day has arrived.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Well, this is the venue for our party today,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13and as you can see, it's all centred
0:24:13 > 0:24:16around this area of the park,
0:24:16 > 0:24:18with this wonderful roundabout in the middle,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21which means people can actually do
0:24:21 > 0:24:24a lovely 360-degree tour of all our
0:24:24 > 0:24:27stalls. Let's hope they spend, spend, spend,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30to make sure we reach that target.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31It's Izzy's turn to help at the
0:24:31 > 0:24:34street party and pop-up auction today.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36She's getting straight to work on the bunting.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I wanted it so you could see the street auction,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41but, um...a bit droopy.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43The local volunteers have arrived to lend a hand,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47and, as good as his word, John's here to get stuck in.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Good at bows.- Oh, yeah. Yes, I'm great at bows as well.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- There we go. - What great community spirit!
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- Morning, everyone.- Morning, Paul. - A bright and early start.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Thank you for volunteering today.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I can see you've already met Izzy and she's putting your sashes on.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Today, we're hoping to bring the whole community together,
0:25:05 > 0:25:09to celebrate the work of one man, who's a big part of this community.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12So, what's this community like? Will a lot of people turn up?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Yeah.- What's it like? - Vibrant, young.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- What's it like, Ben? You're a youngster.- Everyone here loves to get involved.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19It's a really great community.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Right, Chris. You look like you could do teas, coffees and cakes.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Could you do that?- Oh, yes, I'm very good at teas, coffees and cakes.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- How about the two Chrises? - Yes.- That is our money-spinner.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Isn't it, Izzy?- Oh, yes. - Oh, yes. Oh, yes, yes, yes.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Well, look, thank you, everyone. To your stations.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39The volunteers are raring to go, but they need something to sell.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Time to start picking through the rummage day finds.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Books are always great, because, you know,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49if we just get 50p for each of them, and we've got about 20 of them
0:25:49 > 0:25:52here, you know, it's 10 quid already.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57We're surrounded by all of the things from your rummage day.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02- I think you and Danny did a good job.- Thank you.- There's a lot here.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- What's this?- It's a dartboard.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Thought you might have a bit of fun with this one.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Oh, look at that! It's ready to go.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Are you any good?- No, I'm rubbish. SHE LAUGHS
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I am absolutely rubbish at darts.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15But a lot of people play it, and it's really popular.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Should we put that on the rostrum? - Yes.- Brilliant.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Absolutely brilliant. That's nice.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Yes, this was one of my finds, actually.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Oh, it's very, very you, isn't it?
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Yeah, I like it.- Do you know what, I know it's contemporary and it's modern,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- and it's a repro...- Mm-hmm.- ..but it's got that rococo, sort of,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34frilliness about it. Yeah. Anything else?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Well, this one quite amused me.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39LAUGHTER
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Is that for me?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Is that my en-suite for the rostrum? LAUGHTER
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yes, I just thought it was amusing.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Do you know what would look nice in that? A pot plant.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Actually, you're right, it would look lovely.- Yeah. Right, well, that's a good start to the day.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55What we need now is lots of help to start to get this out of here and
0:26:55 > 0:26:57around here.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01There are some great items already for me to sell on the rostrum,
0:27:01 > 0:27:06but the donations just keep coming, including this huge print.
0:27:06 > 0:27:091872. So it's late Victorian.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Do you know, I like that. That's a steel engraving,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15but it's all of Plymouth Sound and Plymouth Hoe.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Wow! There's some history here.- Yes.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Look, I'm going to put that on the rostrum and sell that.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Hopefully someone here will buy that, because we're in the right
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- place, aren't we?- That's it. - LAUGHTER
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Now, I've had a tip-off -
0:27:27 > 0:27:30there's something for me at the local bowling club.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Hello, mate!
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Hello.- It's Paul.- How do you do, Paul?- Is that for us?- That is for you, mate.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37What's the story of this, then? Where's it been?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well, I bought it a few years ago. It was a project I took on, and...
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- You've stripped it?- I've sanded it down as best I could.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45You know, I don't know what I'll do with it.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Either paint it or varnish it or whatever I want to do with it.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- Do you know what, I think it looks good in its sort of weathered, natural state.- Does it?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Yeah, I wouldn't varnish it. I'd leave it like that.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Oh, OK.- I think you've done a cracking job.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58There's a lot of work, stripping that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Another item for the pop-up auction.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04What a testament to David's good work that the community are
0:28:04 > 0:28:07turning out and giving so much.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Everything is going so well, there's even time
0:28:09 > 0:28:11for a quick game of bowls.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Yay!
0:28:13 > 0:28:15LAUGHTER
0:28:18 > 0:28:20But I can't play bowls all day.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22With minutes to go before the start of the party,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24there's plenty of work still to do.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Well, this is it. We've done all we can now.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34I've got to say, the team have done a fantastic job.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36The location is superb.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38We've now got to sell it all, obviously,
0:28:38 > 0:28:40but also we want David to turn up.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43I've heard he's volunteering at his local church.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Typical of David.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Let's hope it doesn't take all day and he turns up.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53The cakes are ready, the dancers are poised and the crowds are waiting.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Let's get this party started with a five,
0:28:56 > 0:29:00four, three, two, one!
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Let's do it! CHEERING
0:29:05 > 0:29:07The community have really turned out here to support David.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It's great to see.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18It's a lot bigger in there than you think!
0:29:19 > 0:29:21The stalls are selling well.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26Let's hope our upcycled items do as well on the pop-up auction later.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30We've transformed the sturdy pub table that Danny found, with a bit
0:29:30 > 0:29:32of paint and some TLC.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- These are upcycled items... - Yes.- ..and I like them.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- I like them a lot.- I like them. - I would buy that one.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42I think it's the perfect size to put a lamp on and, you know,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45a few accessories and the odd book, and stick it in the corner of a room.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- It's perfect!- It's attractive.- And I love the choice of colour.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- Hopefully, £20. - Oh, I think easily!
0:29:51 > 0:29:53We've also updated the coffee table
0:29:53 > 0:29:55and painted it a lovely blue colour.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58That's hopefully £20 for each table at the pop-up auction.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Two really good upcycled items,
0:30:00 > 0:30:04which, probably, we've only got a fiver each for,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- and now hopefully £20 each. - Yes, yes.- So that's money.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Kerching! It's all adding up. LAUGHTER
0:30:10 > 0:30:13I can hear it in my head, cash piling into those floats.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15That's what it's all about today.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17And another lot for the auction has arrived.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20A local artist is finishing a painting for me to sell.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23And that is obviously Plymouth Sound, isn't it?
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- That's the Hoe.- That's the...yeah... - That's the classic shot.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28That's a great view of one of the great seascapes
0:30:28 > 0:30:30in the country, really.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32If we get something like 200 quid for that,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35that could make all the difference.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Whilst Izzy helps on the bric-a-brac stall...
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- £2?- £2.- £2.- Excellent, £2.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Thank you.- ..I'm catching up with Graham Kirkup,
0:30:43 > 0:30:47who knows David through his charity work.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50He arrived in Plymouth through the asylum process,
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- initially coming from London... - Yeah.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56..and David was one of those people that instantly is infectious in his
0:30:56 > 0:31:00enthusiasm for helping other people, and in his voluntary capacity,
0:31:00 > 0:31:03even when he didn't know what his own status was,
0:31:03 > 0:31:07he was sitting, legally supporting people and trying to get them
0:31:07 > 0:31:11through documents which could see them obviously failing an asylum
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- claim...- Well, with language barriers as well.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Totally, and I think...
0:31:15 > 0:31:17I'm in awe of people who can speak more than one language,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19because I've never sort of learned any other.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23He's quite selfless and he's pushed himself way beyond what I would call
0:31:23 > 0:31:25a normal sort of level of care.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30Annoyingly, he hasn't turned up yet, and it's three o'clock.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- He will be here. - LAUGHTER
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- He will be here.- Let's hope so.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41The party's in full swing now, and the money is piling in.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Marlene, how are we doing?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- Don't sell my coffee, will you? - 50p for the coffee? LAUGHTER
0:31:48 > 0:31:50How are we doing in there? Let me have a look.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Well done. And how much did they get so far?
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Well, must be nearly 200, I should think.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Yes! Nearly 200!
0:31:59 > 0:32:03I'm going to give you a kiss. Oh, brilliant.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06I said... I looked at that and said, "There's 100 quid there easily,"
0:32:06 > 0:32:08but we've done 200!
0:32:08 > 0:32:12And David's wife, Claris, has turned up with the boys.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15What's he like to live with, then, OK? LAUGHTER
0:32:17 > 0:32:19No, he's a good dad, he's a good person,
0:32:19 > 0:32:21he's a good man, and, yeah, no,
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- he's brilliant, yeah.- Constantly helping people.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26I know, I know, constantly, but that's the man...
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- That's the man you married.- Yeah. - That's in his DNA, isn't it?
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Yeah.- How's he going to take this? - Well, I hope well.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34He will be surprised, because he's usually really,
0:32:34 > 0:32:38really good at guessing, so I'm quite glad it's been arranged...
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- Yeah, now I'm worried.- No, no, he doesn't have a clue, so, yeah,
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- I can guarantee that.- OK.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47At least Claris is here. David can't be too far behind.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52The party's nearly over, and the cash boxes are getting full.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53To add to our total today,
0:32:53 > 0:32:58we sent some of the best items from the rummage day to the saleroom.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Let's see how they did in the hands of auctioneer Gavin Aplin.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07First up, it's Izzy's jardiniere, with an estimate of £25 to £40.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Start me £10, please. £10. 10, I've got.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Where's my 12? And 14 coming back now, please, at 12 after 14.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15At £12, then, selling to the internet.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Be sure. At 14, thank you. Come back 16.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23Don't let it go for a couple of pounds. At £14, showing me 16, now 18 coming back.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24At £16...
0:33:26 > 0:33:28That's a disappointing result.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Let's hope the watercolour of the ship gets a bit more
0:33:31 > 0:33:34than its £25 to £40 estimate.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37121 is the 20th-century framed and glazed watercolour painting of an
0:33:37 > 0:33:40English man-of-war ship. 20 and away, then, please.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43At £20, do I see it? £20 asking.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Surely somebody here for £10.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Sir, at £5, it's got to sell, please.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Thank you, sir. It's six. Thank you, sir. £7.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Thank you, sir. £8, sir.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56And nine, sir? No, a shake of the head.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59At £8, looking for nine. At £8, after nine.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02£9, thank you, sir. At £10, thank you. And 12, sir.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05And 14, sir. £12, after 14.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Are we done? Thank you very much, gentlemen.
0:34:07 > 0:34:12That was painful! Just £12 for that beautiful watercolour!
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Someone got themselves a bargain.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19That makes just £28 from the saleroom.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22It's a good job the party is going so well.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28With most of the bric-a-brac gone,
0:34:28 > 0:34:32David's finished at the church and has arrived in the nick of time.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35He's over there, so it's time for me to have a quick chat,
0:34:35 > 0:34:36so wish me luck.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Do you live here?- Yes, I live here.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- And what do you do?- Er, oh, right.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- I work for the Red Cross...- Oh, yeah?- ..and I've worked here for many charities.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Basically, I'm a community development worker.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- And you're enjoying that? - Of course, yes.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- I do, I do.- Yeah. So, you know many of the people here?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Quite a few people, quite a few people, yeah.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Well, look, enjoy the rest of the party, won't you?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- Thank you. Thank you very much. - Are you OK?
0:34:58 > 0:35:02He really is an amazing man, and so humble.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06The work he's done in this city has really changed lives.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11We are now officially closing the stalls.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Time to find out how much the stalls have raised towards that
0:35:15 > 0:35:17all-important total.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19So, we have a total. What is it?
0:35:19 > 0:35:21£798!
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Fantastic! They've dug deep and they've spent.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- I'm pleased with that.- I'm really pleased with that.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31With the money from the saleroom, that makes £826,
0:35:31 > 0:35:38so I've got to make £174 on the rostrum to meet our £1,000 target.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41That looks amazing! Oh, I love it!
0:35:41 > 0:35:44After some finishing touches, it's time for the auction.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Ladies and gentlemen, what a fantastic sight that is.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52People have come together to celebrate something really special here today.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54All will be revealed after this auction,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57when we tally up how much money we've raised.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00'First up is one of our beautiful upcycled tables.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02'I predict we'll get around £20 for this.'
0:36:02 > 0:36:06A wonderful occasional table. Look at that! Five anywhere?
0:36:06 > 0:36:09So many bids. Five. Eight now. Ten?

0:36:18 > 0:36:21Fair warning, I'm selling at £16, once...
0:36:21 > 0:36:2417. It's with you. LAUGHTER
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Don't bid against yourself. - You said, "Keep your hand up!"
0:36:27 > 0:36:31Ah! Wait for the hammer to go down. LAUGHTER
0:36:31 > 0:36:35- 17.- £17. Sold. £17, thank you. - 17.- 17. APPLAUSE
0:36:35 > 0:36:38£17 isn't bad. I was hoping for a bit more,
0:36:38 > 0:36:42but thank goodness for Graham bidding against himself.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Next up, our other upcycled table.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Who's going to start me off with a bid of £5?

0:37:17 > 0:37:20It's truly amazing what a bit of paint can do.
