"Loving, caring, beautiful, kind and amazing" are just some of the words used by our readers to describe the community of carers who live among us in Northampton.
Hundreds of you sent in pictures of your nearest and dearest over the weekend who are constantly working their socks off to make the lives of those less fortunate dignified and happy.
To celebrate National Carer's Week, which started on Monday, June 8 we are compiling picture galleries featuring members of Northampton's caring community who go the extra mile to help others.
Have a read of what the nominators had to say.
