Poetry and photography competition
Give the gift of hope
To celebrate the brighter, longer days of spring and summer, we are running a poetry and photography competition on the theme of hope.
The competition has two categories, one for photography and one for poetry, each with a £50 gift card prize for the winner of each category.
What does hope mean to you? How can you bring to life the importance of offering hope through either a photo or poem? Hope is the best gift you can give someone, put your creative heads on and enter a hope themed poem or photo. The competition is open to all (service users, patients, carers, members of the public and staff) and closes on Tuesday 30 April 2024. Good luck!
