Design a 50p for Our Key Worker Heroes!

By Change Checker | March 27, 2020 |

*** UPDATE ***

The winners have now been selected! Their designs have been brought to life on virtual 50p coins, which you can see in this video:

We all know what an incredible job our doctors, nurses, paramedics – indeed all our fabulous Key Workers are doing to help us through this challenging time.

So much so that last night, people all across the UK leaned out of their windows or stood at their doors to applaud our heroes for their hard work

And now we’re calling all our Change Checker Juniors to design a 50p just for them, as another way to show appreciation.

If you’d like to get involved, all you need to do is follow these simple steps:

50p-Template-1Download

1. Download this PDF and print it out.

2. Create your Key Worker Heroes design and fill in the details on the page. You can take inspiration from the UK 50ps listed on our web app!

3. Photograph your design.

4. Post a photo of your design in the comments on this Facebook post

The TOP 5 designs will be brought to life in an animation and featured in a Change Checker video, which will be available to watch on the 13th April.

Entries close at 9am on Thursday 9th April, so don’t delay!

Best of luck and happy designing!

    If your child is 11.. which bracket are they in please? 7-11 or 11-16?



    • Rachel Hooper on April 9, 2020 at 8:07 am

      Hi Rachel, sorry for the confusion. They would come into the 11-16 category. Thanks, Rachel

  4. Cara Green on March 29, 2020 at 12:47 am

    What’s the age range?



    • Alexandra Siddons on March 30, 2020 at 12:26 pm

      Hi Cara,

      Anyone can get involved, from little kids to big kids 🙂



  5. Pip Holden on March 29, 2020 at 12:43 am

    Noticed it says “change checker juniors” – does that mean it’s a kids competition?



    • Alexandra Siddons on March 30, 2020 at 12:28 pm

      Hi Pip, whilst we think this is a great thing for our juniors to do whilst they’re off from school, of course our big kids can get involved too! 🙂



  6. James on March 28, 2020 at 2:03 pm

    Awesome idea. Would be even better that they get produced amd circulated or sold at a proportianate cost with percentage going towards charlty



  7. Georgia on March 27, 2020 at 6:50 pm

    Hi is there a price for this



    • Alexandra Siddons on March 30, 2020 at 9:31 am

      Hi Georgia,
      This is free to take part in. Just simply download the PDF, free of charge, and design your 50p for our Key Workers and post it in the comments of the Facebook post that is linked in the blog.
      Thanks,
      Alex
