Neighbours surprise a 91-year-old poppy seller who spends her life helping others.
Last year, just two days before Christmas, Chris James lost his battle with a brain tumour, leaving behind his partner Sarah and their two young children. Since then Sarah has thrown herself into raising funds for brain tumour research, while caring for her children. Her friends and neighbours want to help her after the tragedy, so when Street Auction came knocking, they were only too pleased to donate items to be sold to raise funds. Paul Martin and Irina Aggrey take to the streets of Swansea to collect donated items to sell at a Street Auction. Their mission is to raise enough money to help finish off the family's garden - a job Chris had started before he became terminally ill.
Forestry worker, Rob Holt, is well known around Dorset through his work, delivering logs, and helping out in the local community. Last year an ash tree crashed down on him, pinning him to the ground and almost killing him. Emergency services - including his best mate Carl, a retained fireman - had to cut his arm off at the scene. Since the life-changing accident, Rob has had to adjust to using a hook attachment, which, coupled with medical complications, has made work difficult. Presenters Paul Martin and Danny Sebastian set out to help him by collecting unwanted items donated by neighbours and selling them at a Street Auction near Rob's home. Money raised is going towards a life-like cosmetic hand which will make Rob look and feel more comfortable.
Father-of-two Jim Sutton was medically discharged from the RAF after suffering a ruptured artery to his brain. While receiving treatment at a military rehabilitation centre Jim realised that by helping others he could help himself. Now he spends his days helping the young and old, and former military personnel, as a volunteer in the town of Calne where he lives. In this programme, presenters Paul Martin and Danny Sebastian scour Jim's neighbourhood collecting unwanted items to sell at a Street Auction - without letting Jim know the fundraising is all for him. They hope to raise enough money to send help fulfil Jim's ambition of visiting the grave of his hero, his uncle Fred, a former test-pilot who died while on a manoeuvre in Canada.
