Merseyside is full of amazing people who help and inspire others.
Over the last year the ECHO has spoken to many people who have touched other people's lives, inspired to make change or show others how they turned their lives around. The ECHO has decided to look back at a number of these uplifting stories which happened during 2022 in Merseyside and nearby.
Stories include kind gestures from schoolboys on Halloween, people launching their own businesses which have become international sensations, a man who helps other amateur footballers with their mental health and a former alcoholic who turned his life around.
