Lamin
Mennah from Manchester and star of the DIY SOS ‘Homes for Veterans’ Special will
be appearing at The Mobility Roadshow on Day 1 (26th May).
To date, the DIY SOS Big Build ‘Homes for
Veterans’ Special is the most ambitious construction challenge undertaken by
the building renovation TV programme. It involved the redevelopment of an
entire dilapidated terraced street in Manchester to provide homes for injured
servicemen and women. Lamin Mennah, a disabled ex-Guardsman, and his family
were grateful recipients of one of the new accessible homes.
Lamin, originally from Gambia, moved to
Britain in 2005 to join the British Army and served in the Irish Guards for
five years. On New Year’s Eve 2010, he was severely injured by an exploding IED
in Afghanistan resulting in the loss of both legs and one arm.
Lamin said:
“By coming to the Roadshow I hope I can help as many people as possible sustain
a positive mental attitude.”
