We’re delighted to highlight the creativity and community spirit behind this poster 👏

This piece was inspired by the innovative idea of one of our local voluntary community members Tom Fingleton, St Samsons community group , whose vision helped shape the message you see today. It’s a great example of how fresh thinking and local voices can make a real impact.

A big thank you for this contribution — we hope you enjoy the result and take a moment to reflect on the message behind it✨
