Help Our Charity Build Bone-Healthy Schools and You Could Win £500!
Welcome to our 'Build Stronger Bones Poster Competition'. Children need to understand that they need a calcium-rich healthy balanced diet, weight-bearing exercise and vitamin D to make their bones strong. This year we are promoting this essential health education through a Poster Competition. Below you will find a series of links that will give you the resources you need for your children to take part in the competition.
We want as many schools as possible to benefit from our free educational resource pack so we're asking schools to create a poster for us. The poster will tell children and teachers all about the benefits of building stronger bones through a calcium-rich diet, weight-bearing exercise and vitamin D. The school that produces the best poster will win £500 to enhance their health education resources! There's also £25 for the child that designs the winning poster.

Character Images
Children love our 'Super Heroes' Sneakers, Munch and Blaze. We have put together a few images of these great characters so that the children can use them in their posters. Just click on the link below and you can make them available for your children to download directly into their poster or print off for them to cut and paste.
Fact Sheets
Our Fact Sheets have proved popular with teachers and parents as they support health education messages around diet and exercise. They are bright and colourful and can support groups of children designing posters giving them accurate information to use. They are specifically designed for a variety of learning needs. Just click on the link below and download these visual aids for your children.
