Ady Dayman

Available for over a year

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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 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.
