YEAR Six pupils across Swindon are putting their artistic skills to the test as part of a campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Wales & West Utilities is working with The Carbon Monoxide and Gas Safety Society to help better inform children, who are among those most at risk of the CO poisoning, the so-called silent killer.
Children aged 10 to 11 will be looking to channel their inner Picasso and create an informative work of art that could help save lives. The poster competition offers pupils the chance to learn all about the dangers of CO poisoning and bag their school a £300 or £500 prize. The winning entries will also win a trip to the House of Lords for them and their family.
The competition deadline is July 31.
