Eight people are awarded for going above and beyond to make a difference in their community.
Eight people have been awarded for going above and beyond to make a difference in their community"Dad would have been so proud", 12-year-old Alexander Wayne tells me as he collects his BBC London Make a Difference award for raising more than £70,000 for bereaved children after his father died three years ago.
And that could not be more true than for Lola Idris-Debayo, who won The Volunteer Award for feeding thousands of vulnerable people in her community. Carl, who set up a charity called Friends of Cathja, cares for people with mental health challenges and provides a safe space on a converted barge in Isleworth, west London.
One member of the group, Bishop Euston Copeland, says the thread that runs through the whole group as well as all the nominees is that "we make people feel that they matter, are valued and are important".Some of the winners, including Tilisha Goupall, who was given the Bravery Award, have been focusing on supporting young people in London.
