We Care Award Winner
Our We Care awards recognise those “silent heroes” like Alan Gay in our communities that go the extra mile to help support others.
Alan was put forward by a Golding customer Blanche Moore, who thanked him for the work he does every day to the gardens in his community to keep them clean and tidy.
Blanche said: “Alan is such a caring person – always ready to help anyone! He cuts the lawn for most of the vulnerable people living in this community and goes above and beyond to keep the communal areas clean, without taking a penny. He is one in a million!”
Cloey Horton from Golding Homes said “Alan is always going over and above for his neighbours without being asked, he clears the shared pathways of weeds and reports any trip hazards. Alan is always on the lookout for the other neighbours , keeping himself busy offering to cut people's grass and assisting with any gardening. Alan does this with a smile on his face and I don't think he realises how much he's appreciated and deserves some recognition for being a good neighbour .”
A winner of the We Care awards is chosen by Golding’s Customer Insight Group annually from nominations put forward by our customers.
Alan was awarded £500 in vouchers, which he has said will go towards a brand-new shed for his garden.
Alan, seen in the photo with his cat Prince, said: “I really enjoy getting out and helping my neighbours with their gardens, no matter the weather.
“I feel really proud to hear that so many people nominated me, I can’t believe it.”
