Glanbia CountryLife is proud to be official plant partners of RTE’s DIY: SOS

Following this heart-warming show’s huge success in 2020, a second season of Ireland’s ‘DIY SOS: The Big Build’ will be proudly supported by Glanbia CountryLife, helping to ensure the gardening dreams of the families involved come to life. Having witness first-hand the transformational impact the show’s work had on the Guihen family in last year’s DIY SOS series, Glanbia CountryLife did not hesitate to get involved again to lend their support.

Fronted by Baz Ashmawy, the DIY: SOS team of volunteers set out to renovate the homes of deserving families, with the hope of positively changing their lives forever. Through a nine day build, each of the four homes involved in this year’s series will be transformed. Working hand in hand with the show’s garden designer, Peter Donegan, Glanbia CountryLife will help to reimagine and recreate each homes’ outdoor space into a haven for all the family to enjoy.

Speaking about GI’s involvement Grace O’Dwyer, Retail Marketing Manager said: “DIY SOS is an emotional and heartfelt show that goes right to the heart of community spirit. Our Glanbia CountryLife branches are often the hub of local communities, with our people mirroring that same community ethos on a day-to-day basis. We are thrilled to play our part on a national stage in helping to transform lives for the better.”

Volunteers
Not content to stop at supplying gardening plants and products for each home featured, Glanbia CountryLife is also joining the army of volunteers by providing feet on the ground to help with garden and home renovations. Fronted by horticulturist Fergal Joy from our Bunclody Branch, DIY SOS has the support of Glanbia CountryLife in more ways than one, with many staff members digging in and getting their hands dirty.

The CountryLife team is looking for more volunteers from across GI to join them in making a family’s dream come true. If you’ve got some gardening or building skills or aren’t afraid of a bit of hard work, please email GIPeopleServices@glanbia.ie for more details on how to get involved.

Due to air as part of RTE’s autumn/winter programming season but filming throughout the summer months, this emotional and heartfelt show is sure to capture the nation’s heart once again. The Glanbia CountryLife team look forward to rolling up their sleeves, embracing the community spirit of the show and helping to truly change the families’ lives in a meaningful way.
