Spreading word about disability

DISABILITY is diverse is the message conveyed in envelopes designed in a competition and due to be sent to islanders next week.

Some of the winning entries in the We All Matter, Eh? Envelope competition.

They will be delivered to 10,000 homes and will include instructions about how people can donate using the envelopes to the Guernsey Disability Alliance.

The competition was organised by the We All Matter, Eh? campaign, supported by Butterfield, and drew in dozens of entries from children and adults.

‘We planned to have three winners, with each design being printed on 10,000 envelopes.

‘But we’ve been so impressed by the entries that we chose 12 winners in the end,’ said GDA executive director Karen Blanchford.

Six winning designs will appear on 5,000 envelopes each and a further six will be displayed at a mini art exhibition in St Peter Port.

The work of the 12 finalists will be displayed in the Market buildings in St Peter Port from Monday.
