Our Pride of Coventry and Warwickshire awards, in association with Virgin Trains, will be hosted by weather presenter Emma Jesson and Cov Kid John Dalziel.

TV star Emma and Free Radio Breakfast presenter JD will be helping to shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of our region.

The winners will be honoured at a glittering ceremony at Coventry’s Belgrade Theatre, on Tuesday, April 19.

The star-studded event supports Bethany’s Wish, a local charity set up following the devastating loss of Bethany aged just 8 years after a brave fight to Wilms’ tumour, a rare childhood cancer of the Kidney. Ticket price includes a donation to Bethany’s Wish.

The event will also feature a diverse programme of entertainment including live music sure to get you dancing in the aisles.

Tickets, costing £20, are available from the Belgrade box office website .

Telegraph editor Keith Perry said: “The Pride of Coventry and Warwickshire Awards night was absolutely brilliant last year and we are expecting it to be just even better this year.

“For all the celebrities we have there, the real stars of the show are the unsung heroes we are able to thrust into the spotlight and honour.

“The whole process of going through the massive amount of nominations we received, to generating a shortlist and then judging with our sponsors, is a truly humbling experience.

“We know we have some amazing people in Coventry and Warwickshire who show courage and determination and manage to inspire and help others through their actions. They are usually the most humble people you could meet so it is great that these awards allow us to know their inspiring stories, thanks to the readers who nominate them.”
