Top tips

You can use a computer to make either the greeting card or the poster, but not both.

A homemade card or poster might take a bit of effort but it'll look great.

Flexibility

Each young person who participates in the Programme, including badges and awards, should face a similar degree of challenge, and requirements can be adapted according to each young person’s abilities. For more information and practical tips see our guidance on flexibility
