LifeCare called for all mini-artists aged 12 and under to submit artwork with the theme ‘imagine yourself when you are 80 years old’.

We have loved the variety of artwork submitted, from a karate-granny to fun at the beach at 80.

We chose this theme to try and engage children with our charity’s ethos, as well as part of LifeCare celebrating it’s 80th year of helping the local community.

We provide support to older people, those living with dementia, poor health or mobility and those who care for them. Our services support people at home, at our community centre and at our clubs.

We have had some amazing prizes which were kindly donated to us by Ginger & Pickles bookshop in Stockbridge, Camera Obscura and Edinburgh Zoo.
