At a recent Independent Support activity session, a group of young people suggested that they were more likely to keep and use a magnet as opposed to a business card or leaflet. With this in mind, our Young People’s Engagement Officers (YPEOs) began a competition, asking children and young people to draw their hopes and aspirations in order to create some wonderful promotional magnets.

YPEOs and Independent Support Workers encouraged children and young people from across the country to take part in the competition, providing drawing sheets, pens and pencils as well as other fun activities .

Eve Blakeley, YPEO Coordinator said:

 “We would like to thank everyone that entered into the competition, all the drawings were fantastic and it was a tough job to pick only 4 winners out of the 50 plus entries we received!”

You can see the winning entries opposite.
