Carrs Billington Agriculture launches fun competition to support WellChild

»»
IF YOU SEE SOME CRAZY PURPLE monsters appearing in farmers ’ fields across the UK this summer , it ’ s all because of a new partnership between WellChild and Carrs Billington Agriculture .
WellChild , the national charity for sick children , is delighted to have been the UK charity chosen and to be given the support of Carrs Billington , which supplies agricultural products and services throughout the UK and Scotland .
Carrs Billington , which has a string of stores serving the rural community across Northern England and Scotland , will be donating at least £ 10,000 this year to support WellChild ’ s work with seriously ill children and their families . As part of their support they will be distributing the purple silage wrap and netwrap supplied by Zeus Packaging Group in WellChild purple . They will be asking farmers and contractors to show their support by choosing to buy purple .
In addition , Carrs Billington is launching a fun competition to support WellChild . Farmers will be challenged to create eyecatching displays from their purple hay bales . They can customise their bales with special packs provided by Carrs Billington . Farmers taking part will send in photos of their creations to be displayed on the WellChild and Carrs Billington Facebook pages . The winner , whose display is judged
the best , will receive two tickets for the prestigious WellChild Awards 2016 which will take place in London in October . This star studded event , which is attended by a host of celebrities , and often by WellChild Patron HRH Prince Harry , gives awards to inspirational children coping with serious illness , to caring children and to dedicated child health professionals .
Zeus Packaging Group has given Carrs Billington the exclusive distribution rights of their Purple Silagewrap and Purple Netwrap in the UK . This is a part of a global project launched by Zeus to support children ’ s charities in Ireland , the UK , Spain , Portugal , New Zealand and Australia . The purple bales dotted in fields around the world will represent the support they are giving to children and young people who need our help .
