A KIDDERMINSTER carer has converted his garage into a mini wartime museum to take elderly residents on a trip down memory lane.

Community-spirited Jeremy Thomas is opening up his Broadwaters garage full of memorabilia to the public and giving rides in his rare MG TA car from 1936. 

People can listen to wartime songs on an antique gramophone, have a sing-song, take some photos in the car, and exchange stories over a cup of tea. 

Mr Thomas, aged 49, works with people with Alzheimer's and dementia and wanted to do something positive for his community. 

He said: "It's a case of getting people out, having a cup of tea and singing songs for half an hour. 

"There's not much good news in the world, so I want to bring positivity and joy to people's lives".

The prized MG is named Terence, which was bought from a gentleman he cared for of the same name.

Mr Thomas has worked in care for 10 years - working with those with Alzheimer's and dementia, as well as adults and children with disabilities. 

He also works part-time for a company called Under Pressure Cleaning in Kidderminster. 

Mr Thomas also plans to take the car out to nursing homes and care homes throughout the summer, as well as carnivals.

The museum includes old newspapers and letters that people will be able to look through. 

He added: "A 90-year-old lady got very emotional because it brought memories back. She was in the wrens - she can't wait to come again. 

"It brings a lot of joy to my life helping people". 

Visits to the garage museum are by appointment only and those interested can contact Mr Thomas by emailing jezthomas123@outlook.com or by calling 07885487310.
