Your Stories
As part of the Grand Designs Great British Refurb Campaign we want to collect stories from our supporters about what they have done, what it was like and how it has made a difference.
Whether you live in a big Victorian mansion, a 1930's semi or a 1970's terrace we want to collect your stories and your experience. It doesn't matter if you have only just started on a small refurb, or you have just completed a major project. We'd like to know and we'd like to use your story to inspire others.
