Richard Allan's Musicals, Movies and Memories

Richard can be heard on Saturday nights at seven and Monday nights at nine. He says:

"In my role as a college lecturer in maths and numeracy, we help students on many of the courses offered by the college. Most courses give students the opportunity to improve their numeracy skills, and through teaching on these courses I have met many young people who are care experienced.

"I think many people are unaware of how much an impact being a carer can have on people’s lives, and I have met some who have had to leave education because of their caring responsibilities and are now at college trying to get qualifications while still filling the role of unpaid carer. They can struggle to find time to complete their studies and sometimes have to miss classes because of their situation.

"I am delighted to have this opportunity through Care Radio to offer some kind of support to those people and many like them."
