FOR readers of The Northern Echo who feel passionate about the Help for Heroes campaign here’s a chance to wax poetic – and give our soldiers a boost.
A competition to find the best Help for Heroes poem is being run by publishers United Press and Primark is giving £250 in vouchers to the winner. The poem can be of any length and entrants are asked to donate at least £1 per poem and everything will go to Help for Heroes.
Entries are only accepted by post, accompanied by a cheque made out to Help for Heroes. A charity representative will attend the prize-giving ceremony where the winner will hand over the donations. The winner will also have their poem published in a collection of modern poetry and will receive a free copy.
Entries should be sent to United Press, Admail 3735, London, EC1B 1JB, (telephone 0844-800-9178) by November 11, marked “Help For Heroes”. Visit unitedpress.co.uk for more details.
Peter Quinn, Managing Director, United Press, London.
