Army veteran Colonel Tom Moore has become a national hero as a result of his fundraising efforts on behalf of the NHS. And up and down the country, an army of volunteers are busy doing their bit to help out during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In BBC1’s Ross Kemp and Britain’s Volunteer Army, the former EastEnders star-turned-documentary-film-maker tells the stories behind voluntary initiatives large and small around the UK, and celebrates the ways in which we are all pulling together to get through the crisis.
