Each year, ITV News regions across the UK search for a local Fundraiser of the Year as part of the national Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards.

Here in the Channel Islands, four finalists have now been selected form the many nominations we received.

One of those is Lisa Jacobs who has spent the last 14 years raising money for Mont A l'Abbe School in Jersey, which supports children from 3-18 who have learning disabilities.

During that time, she has raised of £236,000 through fundraising events, but also through sponsorship and donations from various local people and organisations. That money has enabled the school to build an accessible playground, secure a mini bus to transport students to and from school, and give them iPads in the classroom, amongst other things.
