Programme Overview
Description
Join our two presenters and their team of Junkyard Helpers as they give day-to-day items and old junk a fun, practical new life in this inspiring live-action kids’ craft show.
Combining traditional crafts from across the UK and creative child-led makes, Junk Rescue makes sustainability fun, showing how the things we throw away can be turned into something useable and encouraging young viewers to take the lead on what they can make from what they can find.
Each episode is packed with innovative ideas of things viewers can make at home, as the Junkyard gang rummage for throwaway items, including plastic bags and bottles, old furniture and packaging, and torn clothing and textiles, and turn them into exciting new objects.
Throughout the series, Danny and Zoe will also head out of the yard to call upon the talents of a diverse variety of friends and experts to help them in their recycling mission – from artists and tailors to engineers and carpenters – showcasing a wealth of crafts and knowledge.
At a critical time for the environment, this surprising and uplifting series teaches children of today about the importance of sustainability in an enjoyable and entertaining way that will engage both them and their parents.
Offering the perfect antidote to today’s throwaway society, Junk Rescue presents children with a refreshing and relatable new perspective on rubbish, showing that just because something is broken or used, it doesn’t mean it has to head to the landfill – it can be repurposed and brought back to life.
