Christmas Card Competition 2025

This December, we’ve been decking the halls, as our excitement grows for the holidays.

To build excitement for the most wonderful time of the year, we unwrapped our Christmas card competition for children with additional needs. The winning entry will feature on our annual holiday e-card to clients. Entrants had the chance to win an iPad, with prizes for second and third place too.

This year, we were blown away that so many entries came down our chimney. We’d like to send everyone who submitted their artwork a festive thank you.

Our panel of judges loved seeing different takes on the festive spirit.

Partner, Anna Stacey, said: “We were amazed by how many entries we received for our competition this year, and it’s been a pleasure for me and my colleagues to judge the designs by such inspirational children.

“It was tough to pick a winner but we’re proud to showcase Freya’s artwork on our Christmas e-card this year. Freya’s design was inspired by ‘Where’s Wally’, and we spent ages trying to find Santa amongst the elves.

“Here’s our pick of the entries we received that brought our judges so much joy.”

Our Winner – Freya, age 10 from East Chiltington

Freya's Design was inspired by "Where's Wally". Can you find Santa amongst all his Elves?

Thomas said he wanted to paint something that makes him feel happy and good.

Christmas is about feeling good. I feel good when I go on holiday with family. This picture is from Sweden where I feel free, relaxed and happy and have family.

Thomas says when I'm there I can forget about school and how rubbish it is, no one is unkind or forces me to do things I don't like. Here it's calm, not too noisy, or busy it’s just right and they have yummy food. We always have a good time here with my family and Christmas is about family and fun.

Third place

James, age 13 from Leeds

James designed this as he met a lady from Solving Kids Cancer who told us about her son, Jamie, and how she collects PJs for children in hospital over Christmas every year. We donated some pyjamas that we had received and not worn, and James designed Santa in his Pyjamas.

He sold 800 cards in his local area, and raised £600 so far with money still coming in.
