Citizens Advice in East Dorset & Purbeck announced the winner of their ‘design a poster competition’ with the winner named as 7yr-old Ava Ford from Hamworthy in Poole.
Children were invited to enter into a competition to design a poster showing how Citizens Advice help people. Three anonymous, final designs were selected with volunteers and staff at Citizens Advice voting for Ava’s winning design.
Judy Herring, Service Manager, Citizens Advice East Dorset & Purbeck, said: “Ava’s design sums up perfectly how we help people with lots of different issues. Ava’s poster got across the help we can offer in a clear, simple and fun design. It shows that we really are here for everyone!”
Ava was presented with her framed poster by the Citizens Advice Bear. Ava said: “I was very surprised and really happy that they chose me, because there were a lot of other people making posters. I worked really hard on mine and I’m excited that it is going to be put up.”
The winning poster will be on display in offices and outreaches across East Dorset & Purbeck.
