Changed days: actress Allison Harding working as a chef in a care home in Belfast Earlier this year I signed up with a temping agency and now I m working for an NHS trust, covering people who are shielding and cooking in a children s home at Flaxfield, as well as Glenmore Cottage and Lindsay House, she says. I start at 10am and finish at 5.30pm. I spray everything down, start lunch and then once lunch is done I prep for their tea. I enjoy working with the children - we asked if we could get a budget for teaching singing and speaking to improve their confidence.
