More than 200 tradespeople turned out to meet the BBC's DIY SOS team earlier today, to hear how they could help with a project in Telford later in the month.

They'll be asked to adapt the home of Matthew Cooper from Trench who suffered two strokes and paralysis while undergoing treatment for a brain tumour.

The work will involve building a downstairs extension with space for a carer to stay, along with a wet room and physio space.

Matthew will also need the ground floor of his home adapting, so he can get around it easily, before he can return home.

The Telford tourist attraction says Thor is "relieved" to be back home.
