Get ready to rev up your imagination, because a local charity is thrilled to announce the launch of its ‘Name Our Vans’ competition.
Prospect Hospice is inviting the entire community to showcase their creative prowess and help christen its two electric vans with names that carry a spark of personality and charm. It’s time to put on your thinking caps, unleash your creativity, and let those imaginative wheels spin.
“We are beyond excited to engage with our wonderful community in such a fun and unique way,” said Victoria Canavan, head of retail at Prospect Hospice. “Our two vans were kindly donated by Arval UK last year and they are so vital to the hospice and our shops, that they deserve to have names. We can’t wait to see the incredible ideas that our community comes up with and to showcase the winning names on our vans for all to see.”
To enter the competition, simply visit one of the charity’s shops or the hospice reception in Wroughton. Once there, you will find an entry form, where you can suggest your names for the vans. Whether you choose something pun-tastic, heartwarming, or inspiring, the sky’s the limit. Feel free to submit as many names as you like; after all, the more, the merrier.
The ‘Name Our Vans’ competition will run until Wednesday 30 August, allowing ample time for everyone to participate and contribute their suggestions. Then, a panel of judges, comprised of members from the hospice team and Arval UK, will carefully select the top two names.
