Young girl becomes Community Champion for her colouring-in support of NHS

A talented young girl has won an award in tribute to the NHS turning 74 years old thanks to her fantastic colouring skills.

Leia Craig, seven , took home a well-deserved award, which was a hamper filled with goodies to thank her for her time and effort.

The colouring competition was held at the Morrisons store in Erskine as part of their Community Champion group that each store has set-up where colleagues can support their local communities.

“Colouring competitions have always gone down well in the store. I thought Leia’s picture was fantastic and you could see she had put in a lot of time and effort.”

The Erskine Community Champions help out at the local food banks in the area and they also raise money for their charity partner Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).

There were many great submissions, but Leia's stood out the most. (Unknown Submitted)
