'You're not just a carer, you're a friend'

A carer has said she is thrilled after being given a best newcomer award at the age of 76.

Kathy Hillcoat, from Leicester Forest East, took up the job less than a year ago after being made redundant from her previous role as a supermarket worker.

She said she loved going to work and helping people.

A spokeswoman for Home Instead, the home care service she works for, said she was "incredibly proud" of Mrs Hillcoat.

Ady spent a morning with Kathy to see what makes her so special.
