With the countdown to Christmas in full swing, North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) is asking once again for help from budding young artists across the region to use their creative flair and design the Trust’s Christmas Card.



The competition is open to children between the ages of 3 to 11 and the winning design will be made into an official NWAS Christmas e-card which will be put on the Trust’s website and sent to all its friends, colleagues, family, staff and members.

The winners will receive a £50 gift voucher, certificate and NWAS goodie bag which will be presented to the winner’s school or nursery by the Trust mascot, Pandamedic – who is busy preparing for what is the busiest time of year for the ambulance service!

All entries must be submitted with the child’s name, age and parent’s contact details and should be on A4 paper, either landscape or portrait. Children can use colouring pencils, felt tips and crayons. The closing date for entries is Wednesday 14 December.

Entries can be scanned and emailed to nwas.communications@nwas.nhs.uk or posted to: Communications Team, North West Ambulance Service Headquarters, Ladybridge Hall, Chorley New Road, Bolton, BL1 5DD
