  • Competition Winner

    Published 08/12/25

    While a pupil at the Oxfordshire hospital school, Finn entered a competition to raise awareness about vehicle idling. The poster design was part of a fun initiative to involve children in highlighting the health and environmental impact on staff, patients and visitors. Only recently have they been made and put up around the hospital. I have attached the photo of him receiving it too.

     

    This is from part of the social media posts:

    The winning slogan – ‘Switch On (brain), Switch Off (engine)’ – reminds us to cut unnecessary car fumes and protect the health of patients, visitors and staff.

     

    It can be seen near entrance drop-off areas where vehicle idling is most common.

     

    Tim Gustafson, one of the judges and a directorate manager, said: “Finn’s powerful design and catchy slogan is inspired and sends out a strong message. Drivers are more likely to take note of the impact unnecessary car fumes have on our patients, visitors, and staff.”
