  • Nick Meir

    4:00am - 7:00am

    Nick says "Caring is so much more than delivering practical essentials. Just ‘being there’ provides a tonic of companionship which we all crave as human beings. And that is why Care Radio is so important. Knowing you can switch on and listen to a friendly voice at any time, day or night, really does make a difference to those involved in receiving or giving care"

  • Ernie Rowe

    7:00am - 10:00am

    Ernie says: "I’ve experienced first-hand the astonishing level of care given by so many remarkable people in our NHS, despite near-impossible circumstances and the lack of pop-star wages".

  • Matt Rosser

    10:00am - 1:00pm

    Matt says: "people who care for us - in hospitals, homes, wherever care is needed - are people we are lucky to have. If we didn’t acknowledge it before, we certainly do now and we mustn’t stop".

  • Martin Emery

    1:00pm - 4:00pm

    Martin says: "when we think about it, we all probably know somebody - a friend, a colleague or family member - who provides care, either professionally or unpaid. Care Radio is for them."

The nurses were just fantastic, and I feel this is my opportunity to give something back to a profession that has faced unprecedented challenges over the last few years."
