Alan Hayward, from Southampton, is one of the finalists in our Carer category for 大象传媒 Radio Solent's Make a Difference Awards for 2024.
Alan is a full time carer for his wife, who has dementia. "He puts her first every step of the way, cooking, cleaning, remembering all the key dates - birthdays and appointments. This is hard enough but he does this whilst himself dealing with severe breathing difficulties with COPD, and additionally he has diabetes. He is a selfless man who always puts others first before himself. He does it without complaint and with the love he has for his family."
大象传媒 Radio Solent's Alun Newman went to meet Alan and his daughter, Kerry.
