The Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards return later this year to celebrate the unsung heroes who go above and beyond to make their communities and the country a better place.

Nominated by the public, the winners come from all walks of life, of all ages, and from all over the country. They will come together with stars from television for a glittering ceremony in London, broadcast on ITV.

Among them will be two winners from the Calendar region, picked from a shortlist of inspiring nominees.

Each day this week – on our 6pm programme and online – we'll showcase those who are in the running. The winner will be revealed on Friday's programme.

Jim Morton, from Penistone, South Yorkshire

  • Jim, 62, has taken on the epic challenge to walk 9,000 miles around the whole of Britain's coastline for charity.

Jean Snelling, from York

  • 86-year-old Jean has run 17 marathons and raised £15,000 for the RSPCA.

Tony Mollica, from Scarborough

  • Nine years ago Tony's life changed forever after the sudden onset of a brain condition. But the 51-year-old refused to let it hold him back, creating the Coastline Sight and Hearing charity, promoting social inclusion for people affected by visual or hearing impairment.

Jo-Anne Oldfield, from Chesterfield

  • Jo-Anne, 39, tragically lost her son and almost died herself nine years ago. Since then she has made it her life's mission to fundraise for the hospital which treated her and to help other bereaved families.
