"We’re thrilled to be able to reward these people in our small way and say thank you for their service to making people smile."

Capital Breakfast host and presenter Roman added: "I admire anyone who takes it upon themselves to give back to others. Everyone has faced struggles this year so it’s even more admirable when people put their own to one side, to support and spread a little cheer.

"Dad and I are looking forward to reading about these selfless stories for ourselves and helping select the winners – and hopefully making them smile in return."

Martin said: "This could be anyone who has gone above and beyond, helping those isolated with a face-to-face visit, organising community events such as food banks or virtual entertainment, bringing people together to raise morale, or simply being a friendly face in a time of need."
