Alan Hayward, from Southampton, is one of the finalists in our Carer category for ±«Óătv 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."
±«Óătv Radio Solent's Alun Newman went to meet Alan and his daughter, Kerry.
