RAMSEY PUPIL SET TO HELP WELCOME NEW RESIDENTS HOME FOLLOWING CARD COMPETITION

Following a greetings card design competition with David Wilson Homes, an imaginative pupil from Ramsey Junior School in Cambridgeshire is spreading joy to residents at the homebuilder’s new development.

As part of a ‘Welcome Home’ campaign, the housebuilder reached out to the school nearby to its development Ramsey Park on Biggin Lane, for the help of the pupils in designing greeting cards to be handed out to new homebuyers.

Local pupil Sophie Underwood was the winner of the competition and will see her cards printed and delivered to new residents, in addition to claiming a £40 gift card.

Runners up included designs from pupils Katharine and Payton, who also won prizes for their entries.

Ms Millican at Ramsey Junior School, said: “The competition was a wonderful opportunity for the pupils to take part in something for the community. The children who entered really enjoyed the chance to take part in something different and to have the winning design made into cards for local homebuyers is particularly exciting.”

The scheme aims to provide a warm welcome to those making a fresh start with David Wilson Homes, whilst also highlighting key information about the local area.

The theme of the county-wide competition for schools is all things home related and the children are encouraged to be as creative as possible, adding in pictures and details about the suburb they live in.

Jason Hearn, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes South Midlands, said: “It’s important to us to make new residents feel welcome as they join our new communities, and we’re thankful to the pupils of Ramsey Junior School for helping us to do just that.

“Purchasers moving into their new homes is a great opportunity for greetings cards to be distributed and receiving a personal message from a local school pupil will really put a smile on their faces.

“We received a variety of inventive entries as part of the Welcome Home campaign and it was a difficult task choosing the winners, however we hope this project has inspired the imaginations of the children involved.”

Ramsey Park is a new community of three, four and five bedroom homes situated in the small market town of Ramsey.
