A village community has come together to make it possible for a woman to return home two years after having a stroke.

It happened nine days after Rachel Timmins gave birth to her second child. She's been in a wheelchair ever since and needs "around the clock care".

Rachel's parents brought the house next door to her and her family in Barrow upon Soar. Tradesmen are working to merge the houses into one specially adapted property.

The project has been organised by the White Horse Wishing Well organisation in Quorn.

It's being led by Dave Keatley Lil who said: "We're changing this lounge into a bedroom for Rachel with plenty of space for the facilities she needs.

"The adjoining kitchen, what was a kitchen, will become Rachel's wet room."

He said they've had offers from tradesmen all over the country wanting to help. A lot of them are offering their services completely free of charge.

Dave said they're planning to have Rachel settled into her newly adapted home in time for Christmas.
