Christmas Card Competition 2024

LIVES Christmas Card Competition and Festive Resource Pack

We’re inviting schools to join in our Christmas Card Competition to help spread some festive cheer! As part of our Festive Resource Pack (available to download from this page), we’re inviting pupils across Lincolnshire to help us design our official 2025 Christmas card! Bring our pre-made cards to life with your own splash of colour, creativity, and festive flair. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the season while supporting LIVES’ lifesaving work across Lincolnshire.
