A young writer, a fitness instructor and a therapy dog were among the winners at an award ceremony celebrating local heroes.

The BBC Radio Oxford Make a Difference Awards had eight categories and recognised those who love to make life better for others.

More than 10 million people have engaged with Make a Difference across BBC radio stations to date.

Winners for Oxfordshire were crowned by a panel of judges and received their awards at a ceremony at Oxford Town Hall.
