Charles Church 'homes in' on creativity
Pupils from Colham Manor Primary School in Hillingdon have recently been challenged don their creative hats and get out their crayons, paints and felt tips to create a beautiful piece of artwork to for luxury homebuilder, Charles Church’s Regency Gardens development in Uxbridge.
The winning picture has now been framed as sits pride of place at the company’s brand new showhome.
Charles Church Thames Valley hosted the competition and invited the children, aged between seven and ten to draw, paint or colour a picture around the theme of ‘My Dream Home’ to represent the style of properties on offer at the company’s Regency Gardens development.
Charles Church was inundated with entries from the pupils from the primary school and the sales team, headed up by Elaine Stratford who instigated the competition, chose ten year old Lanval O’Garro as the overall winner.
Elaine states: “We take our role in the communities we build in very seriously and always strive to forge closer relationships with local schools. We thought it would be a great idea to include a piece of art from Colham Manor Primary School in our showhome, which I’m sure will become a lovely talking point with several of our visitors and purchasers.
“We received some really fantastic pictures through, which made judging a very difficult task and I’d like to thank each and every one of them for their enthusiasm and creativity. Congratulations to our winner Lanval though as his entry really stood out and encapsulated the Dream Home theme.”
Lanval received £15 of gift vouchers from Charles Church while ten year old Seyed Ali Abdallahi and nine year old Taylor Salmon, who were runners up received £10 of vouchers. As a thank you to Colham Manor Primary School, Charles Church presented them with a voucher for £100 towards new art equipment.
Mr Hawley, head teacher of Colham Manor Primary School, comments: “This was a great activity for the children as it was a nice opportunity for the pupils to do something that was fun, but made them think about the sort of home they’d like to live in at the same time.”
