He also chats to two award winners - Eimear McGovern talks about life as a daughter on her family farm with three sisters and the award she won in recognition of saving her father's life when he had a heart attack; and Ryan Pleijzier who won the Homesense Young Achiever Award at the Prince's Trust Awards in recognition of the challenges he faced giving up university to become a legal guardian of his sister.
