2026 Calendar - Photo Competition
It's back! Our photography competition for next year's charity calendar is open for entries, and our theme is
"My Favourite Place".
This is one of our most popular fundraising activities where we create beautiful, professionally printed, wall-hanging calendars with the winning photos from this competition. The calendars will go on sale later in the year to raise extra funds for the Centre, and it's a bit of fun that everyone can get involved with.
We have chosen a wide-ranging theme so we are looking forward to seeing which places in the world are your favourites - but they must be your own photos. It could even be with your feet up in front of the fire!

Please refer to the full terms and conditions below
