A National Competition for Young Creatives
St Andrew’s First Aid is inviting children and young people across Scotland to take part in a new competition to design our next Mental Health First Aider badge.
We’re updating our lanyards and replacing them with pin badges – and we want the people who’ll be wearing them to help design them. This is your chance to be part of something lasting and meaningful, and to represent what mental health first aid means to you, your school, and your generation.
