Pride of Britain Launch 2020

We want to celebrate our region's unsung heroes and we need your help.

Every year, we select someone to represent our region in the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards and this year - despite the pandemic - is no different.

We're looking for the ITV Meridian Fundraiser of the Year - and you just might know who that is. They could be loyal supporters of our cherished charities and good causes or perhaps they're someone who dug deep during this year's pandemic crisis to help out their local community.

Whoever they are, we want to hear about them. Here's someone you might recognise with more details:

• Kym Marsh

So do you know someone who should represent our region in the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards and this year?

Here's what you need to do.

You can nominate someone by going to itv.com/prideofbritain

You'll also find nomination forms in the Daily Mirror newspaper.

This award is for an individual only and the person you nominate must be aged 16 or over and be available to be filmed and have their story told on ITV regional news.

If you or your nominee are under the age of 18 please get permission from a parent or guardian before you nominate.

Nominations are open now and close at midnight on Friday the 28th of August. Full terms and conditions can be found at itv.com

Now here is a reminder of some very special people who've been named ITV Meridian's fundraiser of the year in previous years:
