They could be children or adults, members of your family, friends or acquaintances. They might be making a difference, going over and above to help others, or perhaps you know someone who deserves a little joy in their life.

Last year they had three little heroes switching on their Christmas tree lights.

They were 11-year-old Katie Fawcett from Boclair Academy, and four-year-old Orlaith Thompson with her six-year-old sister Niamh, from Killermont Nursery and Killermont Primary School.

The Boclair Christmas tree light up will take place on Saturday, November 17.
