PRESS RELEASE
Gordon Henderson officially launched his Litter Angels Christmas card competition this morning at the official opening of the Swale Arts Forum shop in The Forum, Sittingbourne.
Litter Angels, in partnership with the Polka Dot Art Centre, McDonalds and Keep Britain Tidy, is a campaign set up to create awareness in schools about the affects of litter on our local environment using art as an educational tool.
Mr Henderson is encouraging children to create a festive design incorporating Litter Angels. Entry forms can be collected and returned to the Swale Arts Forum shop or Mr Henderson’s constituency office in Milton Regis. They can also be downloaded from Mr Henderson’s website (www.gordonhendersonmp.org.uk <http://www.gordonhendersonmp.org.uk> ).
One lucky winner, chosen by Mr Henderson, will have their design printed onto the front of Mr Henderson’s Christmas cards this year, which are sent out to a number of local constituents and businesses. A card will also be sent to the Prime Minister, David Cameron.
Mr Henderson said, “Litter Angels workshops have been taking place in schools across my constituency during September and so a number of children know of the campaign and are excited to get involved in the competition.
“It would be good to see lots of children in Sittingbourne and Sheppey taking part in the competition and I look forward to receiving their fun and festive designs.”
