Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart has launched a fun and creative Easter Colouring Competition for children across the constituency, with the chance to win one of three cuddly Westminster Bears.

The competition is part of Carla’s Easter Activity Pack, designed to keep young minds entertained and inspired over the school holidays. Children are invited to colour in one or more of the themed pages included in the pack and submit their entries for the chance to win.


Carla Lockhart MP said:


“Easter is such a special time of year, and it’s always lovely to offer something fun for our young people to get involved in. This colouring competition is a great way for children to express their creativity, and I’m very excited to see all the colourful entries come in!”


“As ever, I’m delighted to be offering Westminster Bears as prizes, they’re always a big hit with the little ones. Whether you’re in Lurgan, Portadown, Banbridge or beyond, please do get involved.”


To enter, simply request an Easter Activity Pack by sending an email to carlalockhartmp.office@parliament.uk. Completed colouring pages can be returned by Friday 25th April to any of Carla’s constituency offices in Lurgan or Portadown, or to Diane Dodds’ office in Banbridge.
