Caring students can win £1,000 for your School
Published:  01 February, 2007

Encourage your students to consider children with disabilities and one of them could win £1,000 cash for your school, plus a bundle of prizes for themselves. The Mobility Roadshow, the leading mobility lifestyle event, has announced its annual Ready Willing and Mobile competition that encourages school children to think about disability, accessibility and inclusivity from a young age.

"Celebrating national Young Disabled Person's Day on 19th July, the competition is proving very popular with schools, many using it as an assembly or classroom opportunity to discuss disability," commented Jacqui Jones, director of projects and events, Mobility Roadshow.

Sponsored by Waitrose and supported by Vauxhall, the competition calls for bright ideas from all young people - both disabled and able-bodied - aged 7 to 16 years: ideas that will help children with disabilities on the move at home, at school and at play. All that is required to enter is a brief description of the idea, together with an illustration or diagram.

The outright winner wins a cheque for £1,000 cheque and a £250 STAEDTLER stationery and art and craft materials pack for their school. For themselves they gain the latest Canon PowerShot A450 digital camera and SELPHY CP730 compact photo printer, a 20 minute flight over the Mobility

Roadshow donated by fly2help.org and HarperCollins books of their choice. Visit www.mobilityroadshow.co.uk or call Madeline Weatherley on tel 0845 241 0390
