Foyles Poetry competition for kids

When I went to the screening @LADYLUCKmovie I met Lizzie Blake Thomas and her daughter Isabella..

Lizzie has a new website called  www.boobods.com    Boo Bods is a new Children’s Charity. Its aim is to encourage creativity in all kids, breaching the gap between them and the work place.  It has lots of information and I found details of this poetry competition for kids on there.  I have sent mine in.
