    It's time to meet Harry's Heroes.

    Former BBC Look North presenter Harry Gration has met six inspirational people from the Harrogate district for his new podcast Harry's Heroes.

    Harry has recorded conversations with finalists Cath Wilson, Greta Knight, Helen Mackenzie, Lauren Doherty, Mark Oldfield and Susie Little who were all put forward by local people who feel their work is extraordinary. Each are doing exceptional things in different ways to help others in the community.

    Harry has partnered with sponsor Harrogate Spring Water to champion the work of these exceptional individuals.

    You can learn more about each hero and listen to the podcasts by clicking or tapping here and afterwards vote for your favourite. We hope you enjoy listening to their stories and about their work.

    The hero who gets the most votes will win a trip to London for a fantastic concert at the Royal Albert Hall.

    Voting closes on November 28 at 11.59pm. The winner will be announced by Harry Gration the following day on November 29.

    Harry said on the launch of his new podcast:

    "My final six local heroes have told me their stories, we've recorded them and they're ready to listen to.
    "It was an absolute pleasure to meet all of our heroes along with the people who put them forward in the first place.
    "I encourage you to take the time to listen to all of their stories, they really are fantastic and very moving.
    "I'm delighted to give these individuals the recognition they deserve and hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did making them.
    "You can vote in the form below but before you do, take the time to listen to all six stories.
    "I look forward to announcing the lucky winner on 29 November with Harrogate Spring Water."
