Here in the UK, our streets in cities, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
towns and villages reflect the different cultures and lifestyles we | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
all lead. Today, this community is going to celebrate the work of one | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
man who does all he can to unite the people, to pull them together, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
to celebrate one common goal - football. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
So we're holding a street party and pop-up auction to raise money just | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
for him. Three, two, one! | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
Let's do it! CHEERING | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
We'll be pulling out all the stops to raise the cash... | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
Wow, it's like Aladdin's cave in here. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
Oh, I love getting in these sheds, Graham. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
-He's a terrible man. -Oh, don't worry. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
..and sharing top tips on valuables you might find in your home. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
It's glazed earthenware, and I love this turquoise and blue, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
the drip glaze on it there. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
I'm really happy with this piece, it's a nice, solid wood table. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
The legs have been turned. There's a lovely grain on the top. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
But will we hit our target? | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
Fair warning. Sold! APPLAUSE | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
Today, the hunt for treasures and antiques has brought us to Plymouth. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
It's a city famous for its naval and seafaring past. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
The Mayflower set sail from here in 1620, in search of the New World. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:17 | |
One man who made the journey to Plymouth and made it his home | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
is David Feindouno. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
David came to the UK in 2005, | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
when he was forced to flee his home country of Guinea, West Africa, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
during turbulent times in the country. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
It wasn't an easy journey. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
I mean, you are interrogated, and as a human being, it doesn't matter | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
what your background is and what you come from, what you've done, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
what your race is, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:45 | |
you know, when your dignity can get taken away, you lose confidence and | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
therefore you have no self-esteem. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
His friend Graham knows how difficult David's first experiences | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
in the UK were. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
I know he came through an asylum system, which I can imagine for | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
anybody must be very difficult. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
English wasn't his first language. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
It is a negative experience. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
You now, no-one would want to go through the asylum system, simple as that. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
And as you can tell, some people don't even want to talk about their | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
own experience for various reasons, because it breaks you down. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
David's own experiences gave him the drive to help others. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
He now works for the Red Cross in Plymouth, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
helping to settle displaced and frightened refugees | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
when they arrive here. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Maybe that kind of helped me a little bit, to actually | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
think, you know, it's not about what happens, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
but it's about doing something positive. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
As soon as he came to Plymouth, he had an immediate impact. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
He brings people of all different races and backgrounds together, | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
through a shared love of sport. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
One of the things that definitely breaks down barriers worldwide is | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-football. -People loved the fact that it was open to everyone. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
People loved the fact that it was free. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
And people loved the fact that it was really welcoming. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
As a way of recognising all the work David has done over | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
the years, we want to pay for a break for him and his family. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
It's going to cost £1,000, and here is how we're going to raise it. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
We've asked all of David's friends, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
family and neighbours to donate any unwanted or unloved items they have | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
gathering dust in the house, the garage, or the garden shed, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
so we can sell them here, at a street party and pop-up auction. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
And the best bit about it is | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
David hasn't got a clue all of this is for him. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
It's a huge task. I can't do it by myself. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
So I drafted in the help of a couple of experts who have a great eye for | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
items that will make money. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
Auctioneer Izzy Balmer knows a thing or two about antiques, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
and Danny Sebastian is a dealer with the gift of the gab. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
They arrived here a few weeks ago, to get the ball rolling, | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
and this is how they got on. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
I tell you what, nice neck of the woods, isn't it, Plymouth? | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Yeah, it's lovely, I didn't realise it was so hilly. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Well, I think we've got a fair task ahead of us today. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
A bit of fun for all. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
I think I'm going to take the top of the street and work downwards. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
Danny, you're making me walk up the street? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
-You're younger than me. I'll probably meet you in the middle. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-See you later. -Bye. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
Izzy and Danny are in competition to see who can find the best items, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
but, right now, they're not off to a good start. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
I'm so sorry, I can see that I've just woken you up. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
-Yeah. -Have you got anything for me? -No. -Generally... -Can't do it, sorry. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
That's how you get rid of Danny. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
But things are looking up for Izzy. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
Thank you. Well, this is a start. We have, I must admit we've been struggling, but thank you. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
-This is really, really superb. -No problem. -Thanks very much. Bye-bye. -Bye. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
A box of goodies, including some snow globes and china dolls. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
These dolls are modern, | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
but antique porcelain dolls can be worth hundreds of pounds. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
First made in France and Germany in the 1850s, | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
so-called bisque dolls are made with unglazed porcelain and are very | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
collectable. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
Izzy's also been given a gaming chair. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
It's a great start, but how is Danny getting on? | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
I've got to watch Izzy, she's coming up the road. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
I don't want her on my territory. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
With Izzy off to a flying start, Danny's feeling the pressure. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
-How's it going? -Well, I'm just finding it a little bit | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
easier going down the hill than what it probably is you coming up. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
-How's that van looking? -Er, empty. -Is it? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
I've got one item. How about you? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
-Nowt. -Oh, so I'm doing better than you? | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
-Well, listen.... -I've got one item. -You've heard that story about | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
the tortoise and the hare, I'm sure. I've not lost faith in myself. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Come on, where's the Danny magic gone? | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
And Izzy even has time for some gardening tips, while Mum goes off | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
-in search of some stuff. -But these will stain, | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
so you mustn't touch these, because they'll make your clothes all dirty. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
A whole pile of things, including some vintage style roller-skates. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:04 | |
Pairs like these can fetch up to £50. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
But it's Danny who needs to get his skates on, | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
and I don't think a visit to the pub is going to help. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
Just wondering at all whether you've got anything you'd wish to donate? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
-I've got an old table. -Follow you? -Yeah. -Right you are. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
An old table, solid wood, I don't use any more, | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
-so you're more than welcome to have that. -That's absolutely fantastic. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-Sort of thing we're looking for, really. We'll take them. -No problem. -Lovely. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
I'm really happy with this piece, it's a nice, solid wood table. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Nowadays, it's all made out of sort of MDF. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
Mmm. Not the sort of stuff I like. But this is quite beautiful. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
The legs have been turned, there's a lovely grain on the top. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
Guaranteed £20-£25 when we've gave a little bit of a spruce up. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:50 | |
I agree, Danny. I love this. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:51 | |
Pub furniture is built to last. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
-The only thing I've got is an old coffee table. -No, that would be brilliant! -Would it? | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
That would be brilliant. | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
Not to be outdone, Izzy has found something to match. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
Got this fabulous little coffee table. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
I quite like this, actually. I think it's sweet. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
It's sort of in a country style, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
and what's great about it is... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:10 | |
lift up the lid and hide all those...all the clutter away. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
To be honest with you, it could probably just do with a little | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
bit of a sand down and maybe a re-varnish, but it doesn't need much doing to it. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
It might be something that Paul would be interested in. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
You're right, Izzy, | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
but first it needs a lick of paint to spruce it up. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
As Izzy gets to grip with her table, Danny's on a roll. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
-Shall we come in? -Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
-Yeah? -Aliyah has her own reasons why she wants to donate as much as she | 0:07:34 | 0:07:39 | |
-can. -We are in the month of Ramadan right now, and with fasting, | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
we are very encouraged to donate whatever we can. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
Mainly money, your clothes, whatever you can. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
There is enough for a whole toy store here, | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
and Aliyah has also got some insight on the local area. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
-Very nice community. -Really nice. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
They are very friendly if you go out, if you need help. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
Because when I came here, I didn't know anybody here, and then slowly, | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
slowly, I get to know the community, like the Muslim community as well, | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
and the people from the mosque and people from school. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
It's an impressive donation. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
Old toys can sometimes fetch hundreds of pounds. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
It's always worth having a dig around the attic | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
for forgotten teddy bears and dolls. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
And whilst Izzy is in search of her next find, | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Danny goes to meet Claris, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
David's wife, to find out a bit more about the man this is all for. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-Hello, there. Are you all right? -Good, thank you. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
-Is it...Charis? -Claris. -Claris. -Yeah. -Is David here? | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
No, no, no. He's at work, so we are safe. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
-Yeah, because we've got to keep it secret, haven't we? -Yeah, definitely. -Yes. -Definitely. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
I mean, I really want to know a little bit about David, to be honest, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
-Claris. -He is very, very positive, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
always encouraging others and, do your best, | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
don't let your situation, you know, | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
change who you are or what you want to become. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
So, yeah, he is | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
a very positive person, yeah. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
David's positivity saw him through a hard time in 2005, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
when he was forced to make the difficult decision | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
to leave his homeland of Guinea. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
He was on his way back home from a rally with his uncle, | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
and then they just found out that they were being chased up. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
And then, when he got home, | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
everything was smashed and it was a complete disaster, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
because you don't expect things like that to happen. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
The country wasn't stable, but he never expected that it could, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
you know, happen to him. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:34 | |
When David left, Guinea was in turmoil | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
and on the edge of civil war. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:40 | |
-REPORTER: -It's not safe. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
A local cameraman filmed the Guinea army recently, as it retook | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
-this area from rebels. -CHEERING AND CHANTING | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
The Guinean military is just one of the well-armed groups battling for | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
control of diamond mines in this border area before the gemstones are | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
smuggled out to markets in Western Europe. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
The country had been living under a military regime for most of David's | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
life, and in the year 2000, tensions boiled over | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
between Guinea and its neighbouring countries. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
If you found yourself caught up, you needed to get away, | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
and basically to save your future. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
So it was impossible any more for me to, to carry on living in Guinea, | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
and I had to, have to leave and move out. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
So that is what led me to, to come to the UK. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
David left his home and his family, virtually overnight, | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
at the age of 21. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
It's not something that you wish to happen. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
I think it's something that you wish you could plan. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
But, unfortunately, with the circumstances | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
around, around it, it wasn't planned, so it wasn't great. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Despite going through such a difficult time, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
he has now turned his life around and uses those experiences to help | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
others who find themselves in a similar situation. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
You always try to use that experience of arriving here, | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
what it was like in the first place, what you went through. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
And it is something that, for me personally, | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
I always want to use, because I don't want to see anyone else going | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
through the same process. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
The least I could do is to always share that experience | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
-and help them. -What an inspiring man. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
Let's hope we can raise our target of £1,000 to send him and his family | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
on a well-deserved break. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Back on David's street, Danny is in his element. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
Yeah, just come at the right time. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
-Uh-huh? -Am I in your way here? -No, no, not at all. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-Shall we go in and have a look? -Yeah, come on in. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Oh, I love getting in these sheds, Graham. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
What's going on in the back there? I can see there's a lot going on there. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
Staplers and tools. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
-Can I get in there? -He's a terrible man! -Oh, don't worry. -LAUGHTER | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
Oh, I tell you what you can have is that one. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
-Go on. -It needs cleaning. -Is that American? -Yes. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
Oh, when did they start making them in Britain, then? | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
I don't know, but it belonged to my dad, and he got it in the war. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
This Stanley plane is a bit rusty, | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
but tools are real collector's items. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
Refurbished ones can sell for over £400 | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
and names like Stanley and Mosley & Son | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
are the ones to look out for. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
Graham's not done yet. The tools keep coming. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-That's a clamp. -Yeah. -And a bit of that... Keep it coming. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
We'll get a carrier bag when we get inside. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Don't worry, Graham. We'll get a carrier bag. Keep it coming. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
It's always nice when you get a bit of a clear-out as well, | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
-Graham. -You're a terror, you are. -Out with the old, in with the new. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
De-icer, they'll use that later. Don't worry, we'll sell it for a pound. We'll get it on the | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
-bric-a-brac stall. -There. -LAUGHTER | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
-You've stripped me. -Have I stripped you? -Yeah, you've stripped me. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
-It's a number five, that is. -Yeah. -Number five. -Is it? -Oh, aye. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-You know all about it, do you? -Well, it's got number five on the bottom here. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
Graham thinks he's got more stuff upstairs. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
It's raining jumpers. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Oh, that's lovely. I'll tell you what, that... | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
Keep it, keep it coming. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:02 | |
-That's it. -Are you sure? -Yeah! -Keep it coming if you want, Graham. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:07 | |
LAUGHTER Thanks, Graham. It all adds up. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
The tools and the clothes will do nicely. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
-I'll shut the door behind me. -Yeah. -Thanks very much, Graham. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
Thank you. Bye-bye. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
-Bye-bye now. -Meanwhile, Izzy's good start has ground to a halt. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
I think I've only got an armful of items. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
But the sun is shining and I refuse to be defeated and I'm going to keep | 0:13:24 | 0:13:29 | |
on going. I am determined to get more stuff. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
It's not long before she spots someone. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
-That's all I've got handy, I'm afraid. -Thank you very much. Thank you. -That's all right. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
That's another armful for the bric-a-brac stall, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
and Danny is starting to feel more positive. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
This seems to be all coming to this afternoon. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
This morning was very, very difficult, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
and this afternoon, it all seems to be coming to. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
But the van is still not full. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
The only way to fill the van is to keep knocking on those doors. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
I just wondered, | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
do you have anything that you would perhaps be able to donate, or any | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
couple of things you might be able to donate? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
Um, yes I'm sure, I'm sure we can find something. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
Whilst Izzy uses her charm... | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
-How are you? -..Danny spots a familiar face from earlier. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
-You were there this morning, you woke me up. -Where was...? Oh, round the corner? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
-Yeah, 62. -With the dogs? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
-I tell you what... -Give me 20 minutes. -..you scrub up well! | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
Hey, about 20 minutes. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
We'll see you about just before three o'clock. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
-Nice one. -Sounds promising! | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
And Danny's luck is really starting to change. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
Follow you? Cor, this is a big old house, isn't it? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-It is, yeah. -Another good haul, including this dartboard... | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
-Is there a dartboard in there? -..which is in great condition. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
Oh, lovely. Ooh! | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
New ones with a complete set of darts go for about £60. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
Back at the antique shop, and Izzy has got her hands on some gems. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
-You're welcome to that. -Thank you! | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
-Thank you very much. -You should make money on that. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
She also gets a framed painting... | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
That's a watercolour of a galleon. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
-You are welcome to that. -Thank you. Thank you very much. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
-..and a rococo-style mirror. -Impressive mirror. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
-Yeah, but it's a repro. You're welcome to that. -Thank you. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
-It looks impressive from a distance. -It does look it, actually, yeah. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
But what else has caught her eye? | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
A Victorian chamber pot. It is enamelled. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
Sort of like a tin enamelling. It's in good condition. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
It just amuses me, and I can't wait to show it to Danny. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
And, finally, John digs out a crystal paperweight. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
Oh, lovely! That's really beautiful. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
Glass paperweights first gained popularity in the mid-19th century, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
and they're still very collectable today. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
John has been really generous. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
I particularly like the rococo-style mirror. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
Rococo was a French 18th-century artistic movement | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
which valued all things elaborate, | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
and this piece is certainly that. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
I might like the mirror, but Izzy has a soft spot for the jardiniere. | 0:15:55 | 0:16:00 | |
Absolutely love this jardiniere. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
It's Victorian, it's probably circa 1890, 1900, something like that, | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
and it's in the style of majolica. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Majolica was very popular in 19th-century England. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
It's glazed earthenware. I love the colour pattern. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
I love this sort of turquoise and blue, | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
the drip, sort of, glaze on it there. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
And I think it definitely needs to go to the saleroom, and | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
you know what, I think we could probably get £40, maybe £50. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:28 | |
I love it and I really hope someone else does, too. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
Back with Danny, and he's finally got into John's house. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
This is quite nice. It's a nice bit of art glass. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
No cracks, no chips. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
I'm sure this is going to go very well on our bric-a-brac stall. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
As well as the vase, he's donated a suit and a welder's mask. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
I like this. It's something different, it's something nice. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-I'm sure it's worth a few quid as well. -It is. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
It looks very... You've got the gloves and everything in there, | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
-haven't you? -John also offered to volunteer on the day. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
Is it a really nice community around here? Do you think they'll really | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
-sort of embrace what we're trying to do here? -It's a lovely community. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
-They will come together. Without a shadow of a doubt. -John, you are a good man. Thanks very much. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
-Thanks, mate. -See you soon. -With all this goodwill, | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
Izzy wants to find out a bit more about David's community work and the | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
football team he set up. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
So she's secretly meeting his colleague, Cara. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
I have heard that David has sort of founded Hope FC. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
-What... Can you tell me more about that? -We, at the Red Cross, refer a | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
lot of our clients to Hope FC. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:30 | |
Not only do we refer people to | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
the actual, you know, football club, | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
but Hope FC runs activities | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-for women and youth as well. -What is he like as a person? | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
Dave, he's easy to get along with. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
I think he's a highly respected member of our community, | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
but that doesn't make him untouchable, if that makes sense. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
He's the kind of guy you can kick a football around with, | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
and he engages, you know, very openly and is well-liked | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
within the community, but he's also very well-respected. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
He, as a person, has definitely changed lives. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
And I think he's an extremely humble person. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
David started the football team, Hope FC, in 2008, | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
when he was waiting for his asylum claim to be finalised. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
I thought it would be great to do something to bring people together. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
First of all, you know, cos I love playing football every day, | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
and was also to send a strong message to people who arrive here, | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
to actually say, "You have come in a new country, it is down to you to be open, more open, | 0:18:24 | 0:18:29 | |
"and allow people to welcome you," | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
and by showing an example of bringing people together. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
But if you isolate yourself by doing activities that are | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
just for people from your country of origin, | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
then you're not really giving a strong message. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
So, therefore, I just had the passion to do something to bring | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
everybody, everybody together. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
Hope FC welcomes people from all countries and backgrounds, | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
and there are often eight nationalities | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
represented on the pitch. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
Asylum seekers, refugees and local Plymouth people | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
get together every week to kick a football around. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
Hope FC is really important, because it helps everyone to mix | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
together, especially if you are new and you don't know anyone. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
They just include you in everything. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
All of them are really nice, you know, they're like a family, | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
and they accepted me as soon as I played with them. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
We do have a multicultural environment. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
We do love each other. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
It just doesn't teach how to win, | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
but it teaches you how to keep faith, even if the things | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
doesn't go in the way you want. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
Plymouth is known as a dispersal city, which means hundreds of new | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
asylum seekers are sent here from all over the country every year. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:39 | |
Different place, different faces, they don't know anyone, | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
so it's really hard to adapt and to... | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
mix with other people, yeah. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
When I came here, I think it was difficult, | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
because English is not my first language. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
But now I am happy, so happy. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:57 | |
When my English is good, I talk with people, I have more than one friend. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
Yeah, this is good now. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Helping asylum seekers and refugees is something David is familiar with | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
in his work with the Red Cross. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
I've simply loved helping people. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
I mean, partly because of my own personal issue and background, and I | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
had known what I had gone through. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
And I was really passionate to actually, not just sit back and observe, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
but actually get involved and support people who are going through the process. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
So that, that was my passion. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
David set up a few initiatives to help desperate and vulnerable people | 0:20:29 | 0:20:33 | |
arriving in the city. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
It gives people in crisis a helping hand when they arrive, | 0:20:35 | 0:20:39 | |
-often with nothing. -David was amazing. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
Telling us about the football, about the help, how we can integrate. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:47 | |
So, for me, yeah, he's an amazing boss. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
Yeah, he deserves all the best. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
And with the end of the day looming, | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
it's time for Danny and Izzy to grab those last few items. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
That's it! | 0:21:05 | 0:21:06 | |
Let's see what the generous people of Plymouth have donated, and | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
what will make us the most money towards our total. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
What's your favourite pieces? Talk me through some of you lots. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
Well, I like my chamber pot. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
Nice Victorian tin-glazed chamber pot there. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
And a nice bit of Swarovski crystal. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
We've got the Victorian watercolour of the marine scene, which being in | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
-Plymouth, thought should go down well. -Absolutely. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
Mirror. I really like my mirror. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
It is repro, but I just think it's such a statement piece, and it looks so grand, and it's... | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
The sort of piece that might go well on Paul's pop-up thing? | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Well, I thought that, maybe, yes. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
You're right, I'd love to sell that. Izzy's certainly done well. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
-What about Danny? -I've got a bit of a higgledy-piggledy lot, to be honest. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
We've got plenty of games, we've got jigsaws. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
You know, there's some nice things. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
There's plenty of stuff, but we need something to send to the saleroom. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
Maybe there's some value in their star items. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
Now, what's Izzy got? | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
Danny, I've got this jardiniere, and I absolutely love it. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
-What do you think? -Nice piece, isn't it? | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
I love it. Sort of late Victorian, early Edwardian. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
And I think this is one, maybe, to send to the saleroom. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
Well, my star lot, do you want to know where it is? | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
-Yes. -That's the baby. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
OK, tell me about this, Danny. Shall I rescue this from you? | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
-Rescue this from me. -Let's take this. -I'd say about 1940s oak table. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
Solid wood, lovely grain on the top. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
I even think it could probably get away with a little bit of upcycling. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
How much do you reckon it could fetch, Danny? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
Well I'd like to think that can achieve 20, 30, maybe even £40. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
That's one item to be upcycled. Is there anything else? | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
For me, I think my coffee table, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
it doesn't need a huge amount doing to it. Probably quite a quick job. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
But I think that could benefit from... | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
-A little freshen-up? -Yes. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
And next, the items for the saleroom. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
-Well, I think, probably the jardiniere and the Victorian watercolour. -Good choice. -Yes, | 0:22:55 | 0:23:00 | |
those are great items, and I think the saleroom is the best place for them. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
But I need something to sell on my pop-up auction. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
I think the dartboard should go on Paul's pop-up auction. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
Inside, you've got all the darts, and he's quite a sporty chap is our Paul. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
Well, I was thinking for Paul, the chamber pot. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Partly because it amuses me, and partly I'm hoping Paul will have fun | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
selling that one. The Swarovski crystal and the mirror. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
-The fantastic mirror. -What's it all worth? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
You know, I'm going to go in and say around about £120 for the lot. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:31 | |
I mean, I don't want to sound too smug, Danny, but I do have some nice | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
bits. There's not a huge amount of it, so I probably would only be | 0:23:34 | 0:23:39 | |
looking at 250, maybe £300. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
I think you've won this one, Izzy, haven't you? Hands down. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
-I don't like to say, Danny. -Hands down, I think you've won this one. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
Hmm, I tell you what, you're getting too good at this game, aren't you? | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
Give us your hand here. Nice one. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
-Well done. -Well done, Izzy. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
It's just as well you'll be joining me at the street party | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
and pop-up auction. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
Finally, the big day has arrived. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
Well, this is the venue for our party today, | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
and as you can see, it's all centred | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
around this area of the park, | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
with this wonderful roundabout in the middle, | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
which means people can actually do | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
a lovely 360-degree tour of all our | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
stalls. Let's hope they spend, spend, spend, | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
to make sure we reach that target. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
It's Izzy's turn to help at the | 0:24:30 | 0:24:31 | |
street party and pop-up auction today. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
She's getting straight to work on the bunting. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
I wanted it so you could see the street auction, | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
but, um...a bit droopy. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
The local volunteers have arrived to lend a hand, | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
and, as good as his word, John's here to get stuck in. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
-Good at bows. -Oh, yeah. Yes, I'm great at bows as well. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
-There we go. -What great community spirit! | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
-Morning, everyone. -Morning, Paul. -A bright and early start. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
Thank you for volunteering today. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:58 | |
I can see you've already met Izzy and she's putting your sashes on. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
Today, we're hoping to bring the whole community together, | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
to celebrate the work of one man, who's a big part of this community. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
So, what's this community like? Will a lot of people turn up? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
-Yeah. -What's it like? -Vibrant, young. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
-What's it like, Ben? You're a youngster. -Everyone here loves to get involved. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
It's a really great community. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
Right, Chris. You look like you could do teas, coffees and cakes. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
-Could you do that? -Oh, yes, I'm very good at teas, coffees and cakes. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
-How about the two Chrises? -Yes. -That is our money-spinner. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
-Isn't it, Izzy? -Oh, yes. -Oh, yes. Oh, yes, yes, yes. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
Well, look, thank you, everyone. To your stations. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
The volunteers are raring to go, but they need something to sell. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
Time to start picking through the rummage day finds. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
Books are always great, because, you know, | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
if we just get 50p for each of them, and we've got about 20 of them | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
here, you know, it's 10 quid already. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
We're surrounded by all of the things from your rummage day. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
-I think you and Danny did a good job. -Thank you. -There's a lot here. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:02 | |
-What's this? -It's a dartboard. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
Thought you might have a bit of fun with this one. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
Oh, look at that! It's ready to go. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
-Are you any good? -No, I'm rubbish. SHE LAUGHS | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
I am absolutely rubbish at darts. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
But a lot of people play it, and it's really popular. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
-Should we put that on the rostrum? -Yes. -Brilliant. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
Absolutely brilliant. That's nice. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
Yes, this was one of my finds, actually. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
Oh, it's very, very you, isn't it? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
-Yeah, I like it. -Do you know what, I know it's contemporary and it's modern, | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
-and it's a repro... -Mm-hmm. -..but it's got that rococo, sort of, | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
frilliness about it. Yeah. Anything else? | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
Well, this one quite amused me. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Is that for me? | 0:26:39 | 0:26:40 | |
Is that my en-suite for the rostrum? LAUGHTER | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
Yes, I just thought it was amusing. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
Do you know what would look nice in that? A pot plant. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
-Actually, you're right, it would look lovely. -Yeah. Right, well, that's a good start to the day. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
What we need now is lots of help to start to get this out of here and | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
around here. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
There are some great items already for me to sell on the rostrum, | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
but the donations just keep coming, including this huge print. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:06 | |
1872. So it's late Victorian. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
Do you know, I like that. That's a steel engraving, | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
but it's all of Plymouth Sound and Plymouth Hoe. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
-Wow! There's some history here. -Yes. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
Look, I'm going to put that on the rostrum and sell that. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Hopefully someone here will buy that, because we're in the right | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
-place, aren't we? -That's it. -LAUGHTER | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
Now, I've had a tip-off - | 0:27:26 | 0:27:27 | |
there's something for me at the local bowling club. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
Hello, mate! | 0:27:30 | 0:27:31 | |
-Hello. -It's Paul. -How do you do, Paul? -Is that for us? -That is for you, mate. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
What's the story of this, then? Where's it been? | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
Well, I bought it a few years ago. It was a project I took on, and... | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
-You've stripped it? -I've sanded it down as best I could. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
You know, I don't know what I'll do with it. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
Either paint it or varnish it or whatever I want to do with it. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
-Do you know what, I think it looks good in its sort of weathered, natural state. -Does it? | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
Yeah, I wouldn't varnish it. I'd leave it like that. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
-Oh, OK. -I think you've done a cracking job. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
There's a lot of work, stripping that. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
Another item for the pop-up auction. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
What a testament to David's good work that the community are | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
turning out and giving so much. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
Everything is going so well, there's even time | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
for a quick game of bowls. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
Yay! | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
But I can't play bowls all day. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
With minutes to go before the start of the party, | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
there's plenty of work still to do. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
Well, this is it. We've done all we can now. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
I've got to say, the team have done a fantastic job. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
The location is superb. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
We've now got to sell it all, obviously, | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
but also we want David to turn up. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
I've heard he's volunteering at his local church. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
Typical of David. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
Let's hope it doesn't take all day and he turns up. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:49 | |
The cakes are ready, the dancers are poised and the crowds are waiting. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:53 | |
Let's get this party started with a five, | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
four, three, two, one! | 0:28:56 | 0:29:00 | |
Let's do it! CHEERING | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
The community have really turned out here to support David. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
It's great to see. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
It's a lot bigger in there than you think! | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
The stalls are selling well. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
Let's hope our upcycled items do as well on the pop-up auction later. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:26 | |
We've transformed the sturdy pub table that Danny found, with a bit | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
of paint and some TLC. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
-These are upcycled items... -Yes. -..and I like them. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
-I like them a lot. -I like them. -I would buy that one. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
I think it's the perfect size to put a lamp on and, you know, | 0:29:38 | 0:29:42 | |
a few accessories and the odd book, and stick it in the corner of a room. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
-It's perfect! -It's attractive. -And I love the choice of colour. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:48 | |
-Hopefully, £20. -Oh, I think easily! | 0:29:48 | 0:29:51 | |
We've also updated the coffee table | 0:29:51 | 0:29:53 | |
and painted it a lovely blue colour. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
That's hopefully £20 for each table at the pop-up auction. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
Two really good upcycled items, | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
which, probably, we've only got a fiver each for, | 0:30:00 | 0:30:04 | |
-and now hopefully £20 each. -Yes, yes. -So that's money. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
Kerching! It's all adding up. LAUGHTER | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
I can hear it in my head, cash piling into those floats. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
That's what it's all about today. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:15 | |
And another lot for the auction has arrived. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
A local artist is finishing a painting for me to sell. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
And that is obviously Plymouth Sound, isn't it? | 0:30:20 | 0:30:23 | |
-That's the Hoe. -That's the...yeah... -That's the classic shot. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
That's a great view of one of the great seascapes | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
in the country, really. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
If we get something like 200 quid for that, | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
that could make all the difference. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
Whilst Izzy helps on the bric-a-brac stall... | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
-£2? -£2. -£2. -Excellent, £2. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
-Thank you. -..I'm catching up with Graham Kirkup, | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
who knows David through his charity work. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:47 | |
He arrived in Plymouth through the asylum process, | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
-initially coming from London... -Yeah. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:52 | |
..and David was one of those people that instantly is infectious in his | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
enthusiasm for helping other people, and in his voluntary capacity, | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
even when he didn't know what his own status was, | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
he was sitting, legally supporting people and trying to get them | 0:31:03 | 0:31:07 | |
through documents which could see them obviously failing an asylum | 0:31:07 | 0:31:11 | |
-claim... -Well, with language barriers as well. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:13 | |
Totally, and I think... | 0:31:13 | 0:31:15 | |
I'm in awe of people who can speak more than one language, | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
because I've never sort of learned any other. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
He's quite selfless and he's pushed himself way beyond what I would call | 0:31:19 | 0:31:23 | |
a normal sort of level of care. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
Annoyingly, he hasn't turned up yet, and it's three o'clock. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:30 | |
-He will be here. -LAUGHTER | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
-He will be here. -Let's hope so. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
The party's in full swing now, and the money is piling in. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:41 | |
Marlene, how are we doing? | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
-Don't sell my coffee, will you? -50p for the coffee? LAUGHTER | 0:31:44 | 0:31:48 | |
How are we doing in there? Let me have a look. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
Well done. And how much did they get so far? | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
Well, must be nearly 200, I should think. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
Yes! Nearly 200! | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
I'm going to give you a kiss. Oh, brilliant. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:03 | |
I said... I looked at that and said, "There's 100 quid there easily," | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
but we've done 200! | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
And David's wife, Claris, has turned up with the boys. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:12 | |
What's he like to live with, then, OK? LAUGHTER | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
No, he's a good dad, he's a good person, | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
he's a good man, and, yeah, no, | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
-he's brilliant, yeah. -Constantly helping people. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:23 | |
I know, I know, constantly, but that's the man... | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
-That's the man you married. -Yeah. -That's in his DNA, isn't it? | 0:32:26 | 0:32:29 | |
-Yeah. -How's he going to take this? -Well, I hope well. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
He will be surprised, because he's usually really, | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
really good at guessing, so I'm quite glad it's been arranged... | 0:32:34 | 0:32:38 | |
-Yeah, now I'm worried. -No, no, he doesn't have a clue, so, yeah, | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
-I can guarantee that. -OK. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:44 | |
At least Claris is here. David can't be too far behind. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
The party's nearly over, and the cash boxes are getting full. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:52 | |
To add to our total today, | 0:32:52 | 0:32:53 | |
we sent some of the best items from the rummage day to the saleroom. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:58 | |
Let's see how they did in the hands of auctioneer Gavin Aplin. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
First up, it's Izzy's jardiniere, with an estimate of £25 to £40. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:07 | |
Start me £10, please. £10. 10, I've got. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
Where's my 12? And 14 coming back now, please, at 12 after 14. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
At £12, then, selling to the internet. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:15 | |
Be sure. At 14, thank you. Come back 16. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:18 | |
Don't let it go for a couple of pounds. At £14, showing me 16, now 18 coming back. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:23 | |
At £16... | 0:33:23 | 0:33:24 | |
That's a disappointing result. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
Let's hope the watercolour of the ship gets a bit more | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
than its £25 to £40 estimate. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
121 is the 20th-century framed and glazed watercolour painting of an | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
English man-of-war ship. 20 and away, then, please. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
At £20, do I see it? £20 asking. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
Surely somebody here for £10. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:45 | |
Sir, at £5, it's got to sell, please. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:48 | |
Thank you, sir. It's six. Thank you, sir. £7. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
Thank you, sir. £8, sir. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:53 | |
And nine, sir? No, a shake of the head. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:56 | |
At £8, looking for nine. At £8, after nine. | 0:33:56 | 0:33:59 | |
£9, thank you, sir. At £10, thank you. And 12, sir. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:02 | |
And 14, sir. £12, after 14. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
Are we done? Thank you very much, gentlemen. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:07 | |
That was painful! Just £12 for that beautiful watercolour! | 0:34:07 | 0:34:12 | |
Someone got themselves a bargain. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
That makes just £28 from the saleroom. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:19 | |
It's a good job the party is going so well. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
Thank you very much. Thank you very much. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:26 | |
With most of the bric-a-brac gone, | 0:34:26 | 0:34:28 | |
David's finished at the church and has arrived in the nick of time. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:32 | |
He's over there, so it's time for me to have a quick chat, | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
so wish me luck. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:36 | |
-Do you live here? -Yes, I live here. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:39 | |
-And what do you do? -Er, oh, right. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:42 | |
-I work for the Red Cross... -Oh, yeah? -..and I've worked here for many charities. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:45 | |
Basically, I'm a community development worker. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
-And you're enjoying that? -Of course, yes. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
-I do, I do. -Yeah. So, you know many of the people here? | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
Quite a few people, quite a few people, yeah. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:54 | |
Well, look, enjoy the rest of the party, won't you? | 0:34:54 | 0:34:56 | |
-Thank you. Thank you very much. -Are you OK? | 0:34:56 | 0:34:58 | |
He really is an amazing man, and so humble. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:02 | |
The work he's done in this city has really changed lives. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:06 | |
We are now officially closing the stalls. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:11 | |
Time to find out how much the stalls have raised towards that | 0:35:11 | 0:35:15 | |
all-important total. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:17 | |
So, we have a total. What is it? | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
£798! | 0:35:19 | 0:35:21 | |
Fantastic! They've dug deep and they've spent. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
-I'm pleased with that. -I'm really pleased with that. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
With the money from the saleroom, that makes £826, | 0:35:26 | 0:35:31 | |
so I've got to make £174 on the rostrum to meet our £1,000 target. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:38 | |
That looks amazing! Oh, I love it! | 0:35:38 | 0:35:41 | |

We didn't make £1,000. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
This has been brilliant! | 0:39:58 | 0:39:59 | |
I'm going to remember this sight for a long time, a sea of happy faces, | 0:39:59 | 0:40:04 | |
the community coming together, en masse. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
This is real people power. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
You're probably wondering what this is all about. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
A lot of you do know. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:13 | |
One person who is here does not know. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
We've had to tell lots of fibs to get them here today. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
They are an unsung hero. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:20 | |
They're a big part of this community and he really, | 0:40:20 | 0:40:24 | |
really deserves everything we've done for him today. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:27 | |
This is the community coming together to say thank you, | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
because this person spends his life | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
bringing this community together. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:35 | |
He helps people get back on their feet and gives them a new direction. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:40 | |
He's a family man, he's a father. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
He works tirelessly for other people. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:46 | |
He's done an awful lot for the British Red Cross as well. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
He's right here with me, with his family. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
LAUGHTER AND CHEERING David Fein... | 0:40:51 | 0:40:56 | |
David Feindouno, this is all for you! | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
All of these people here. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:00 | |
This is to say a big, big thank you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:41:00 | 0:41:04 | |
OK? | 0:41:04 | 0:41:05 | |
Claris, can you read this out, please? | 0:41:06 | 0:41:09 | |
"David, to say thank you for all you do, we have arranged for you, | 0:41:09 | 0:41:13 | |
"Claris and the boys to have a well-deserved, fun weekend away, | 0:41:13 | 0:41:17 | |
"with love from all your friends and neighbours." | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
And also, because we know you love football, | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
a trophy, in your name, for Hope FC. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:27 | |
-Look at that! -Thank you! -CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:41:27 | 0:41:30 | |
This is for all the work that you've done here in the community. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:36 | |
Thank you. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
-Wow, I had no idea at all! -LAUGHTER | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
Thank you so much to everyone, really. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:45 | |
It's really nice to feel that the community appreciates all the | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
volunteers, not just me, | 0:41:49 | 0:41:51 | |
but there are hundreds of people out there who do the same thing that I | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
do - giving free time to bring communities together, so thank you, | 0:41:54 | 0:41:57 | |
everyone, and we'll just keep on doing what we do best, | 0:41:57 | 0:42:01 | |
which is to work hard and unite everybody. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
Oh, big round of applause for David. CHEERING | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
Thank you so much. Thank you. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:08 | |
It's what it's all about, | 0:42:11 | 0:42:13 | |
when you have a community together, coming together and, you know, | 0:42:13 | 0:42:17 | |
being united together. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
I mean, what a fantastic surprise and a lovely thing to do for | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
somebody who works so hard in this community. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
He was really shocked. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
He didn't know anything about it at all, so well done to the community. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
Everybody kept it quiet. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:30 | |
His reaction says it all. He had no idea. | 0:42:30 | 0:42:33 | |
So we've done our job. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
He's really happy, which is fantastic. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:37 | |
The atmosphere has been really warm and friendly, | 0:42:37 | 0:42:41 | |
and it shows you what can go on in any community | 0:42:41 | 0:42:43 | |
when you get to the heart of it. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
A wonderful sight to leave David, surrounded by family and friends. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:51 | |
His kids must think he's a superhero. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
He is a superhero, but he's a hero to all of these people here. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:57 | |
That's why they're here. They dug deep, and together | 0:42:57 | 0:43:00 | |
we raised well over £1,800. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:03 | |
We smashed that target of 1,000. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:05 | |
I hope you enjoyed that. Please keep watching, because the next time, | 0:43:05 | 0:43:08 | |
we could be in your street, and this auction could be for you. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
Goodbye. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:13 | |
David, Claris and the boys are looking forward to their weekend | 0:43:13 | 0:43:16 | |
away, and the trophy has pride of place | 0:43:16 | 0:43:19 | |
at the headquarters of Hope FC. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:22 |
