Daily Mirror Pride of Britain
The Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards celebrate the people who transform the lives of people around them. Among the winners will be the ITV Local Hero, nominated by you for their work in communities.
ITV Local Hero finalist - Pat Gardner
For more than 3 decades Pat Gardner has been a friend, a confident and an inspiration to thousands of families in Greenwich.
When her son was born with cerebral palsy she knew she wanted to help families living with disabilities.
What started in her living room has now become a lifeline service - all paid for by fund-raising.
It's an amazing achievement and the reason she's been nominated as an ITV Local Hero at his year's Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards.
Ria Chatterjee has her story.
