DIY SOS is looking for a community café or project in Hertfordshire to benefit from a “big build”.
The BBC TV show, which sees Nick Knowles and his team take on building and renovation projects with help from local communities, put out a call on social media to find its next idea. Hertfordshire was among the areas it wants to hear from.
A post on Facebook called for community cafés or projects “which benefit people in your area”, and are a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) or Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), to get in touch.

- Man, 52, bailed after pedestrian dies in crash
- BBC Emilia Fox drama Silent Witness filming in Market Street
“If all of the above applies to you, we'd love to hear from you,” it said.
Projects in Hertfordshire, North West London, Bedfordshire, Luton, Milton Keynes, and the surrounding area are asked to get in touch “ASAP” by emailing diysos.bigbuild@bbc.co.uk.
Numerous cafés and community groups in the area have already been offered as suggestions in the comments under the post.
Since the first episode aired on October 7 1999, DIY SOS has become a stalwart of BBC One, with peak audience numbers reaching seven million viewers from around the UK.
More than 200 episodes have aired and over 20,000 volunteers have given their time, completing more than £16 million of builds.
