Daniel Fox Foundation announce winners of children's art competition to spread positivity

The charity was set up by the family of Daniel Fox, a 29-year-old man from Thatto Heath who died in 2017 after being stabbed in St Helens town centre.

They raise awareness of knife crime and visit schools in the borough telling children about the issues that come from carrying a knife.

However due to the coronavirus outbreak, they launched a writing and drawing competition for children aged four to 10 who had to draw and colour a picture of how hard nurses and doctors are working, write a story about all the good work going on in the St Helens community or write a poem about people helping each other in the community.

Judging was done by St Helens Area Commander Superintendent Tami Garvey-Jones from Merseyside Police and below are the winners.

8 - 10yrs winners:

Grace Sanders, aged 10, from Sutton Heath won a £25 Amazon voucher and goody bag

Rueben Michel, eight, from St Helens won a £20 Amazon voucher and goody bag

Belle Grayson, 10, from Nutgrove won a £15 voucher and goody bag

Freya Haddock, eight, from Grange Park won a goody bag

4 - 7yrs winners:

Rueben Jameson, seven, from Whiston won a £25 Amazon voucher and goody bag

The Daniel Fox Foundation said: "Thank you to everyone who entered the competition every poster was brilliant and we applaud the efforts put into what you have drawn.

"The Daniel Fox Foundation would especially like to thank Superintendent Tami Garvey-Jones from Merseyside Police for taking time to judge to contestants we know this was a difficult task for her as all the entries where excellent."
