Ann Foster/Grace HuntAcross Yorkshire there are people doing amazing things every day of the week and we want to highlight them.
This week a 10-year-old girl from Richmond turned on the town's Christmas lights after undergoing kidney surgery, a baker from Beverley recreated the Home Alone house as a cake and a carnival was saved after a successful appeal for volunteers.
Take a look below and enjoy some positive news stories from across BBC Yorkshire.
Tillie, 10, turns on Christmas lights
A 10-year-old girl from North Yorkshire was invited to switch on Richmond's Christmas lights as the event's guest of honour this week.
Tillie was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition shortly before her seventh birthday and received a life-changing kidney transplant from her dad two years ago.
Her mum Marie said it was a special moment. She said: "We're a bit shocked that we got the opportunity."
'This is my house. I have to defend it'
BBC/Gill SennettBaker Grace Hunt has recreated the house from her favourite film, Home Alone, in the form of a cake.
Grace spent weeks making and decorating the model mansion as a Christmas window display for her shop in Beverley, East Yorkshire.
She said: "Many hours went into it, lots of tears as well."
'I laughed at how crazy it was'
Harriet TrewhittA woman whose arm tattoo ended up on her tongue as part of reconstructive surgery during cancer treatment said the story made a "good dating anecdote".
Harriet Trewhitt, 21, was diagnosed earlier this year after developing a painful ulcer on her tongue.
At first, the drama student thought the lesion was just a result of biting her tongue during an epileptic seizure, but doctors decided to biopsy the area and found stage two squamous cell carcinoma.
Now Harriet is back home and hopes to begin a master's degree at Derby University in drama therapy in 2026.
Carnival saved from crisis
Ann FosterOrganisers of a community carnival said they were "delighted" after a successful appeal for volunteers saved the event from being cancelled.
The future of Baildon Carnival was said to be at "crisis point" due to a shortage of people to help manage the growing event.
Ann Foster, deputy chair of the Baildon Carnival committee, said: "We are very delighted the drive to get more volunteers has been successful and we hope that it continues."
