Art and colouring competition winners announced

We had so much fun at this year's Mental Wealth Festival - especially when it came to our art and colouring competitions. We had over 30 entries, all of which showed the fantastic talent and skill of our readers.

We were delighted to announce the winners at a special ceremony that closed out the Mental Wealth Festival at City Lit adult education college in London. Our judges deliberated long and hard, eventually deciding that with so many amazing entries, we had to pick one overall winner and two highly commended runners up for each category.

Our winners were:

Art competition

📍 Overall winner: Chris from City Lit

📍 Highly commended: Ronnie from L'Arche and Angela from City Lit

Colouring competition

📍 Overall winner: Rachel from Epsom Book Club

📍 Highly commended: Nimisha from Bexley Mencap and Tina from MacIntyre

Our winners will be treated to afternoon tea with our Founder, Baroness Sheila Hollins, at the House of Lords. Thank you so much to everyone who took part. We will be in touch with our winners soon to arrange their prize.
