Thrive wins design award
Our young people's newsletter Thrive was selected for an online exhibition by the high profile Cardiff Design Festival in 2006.
Thrive competed with over 200 submissions received from 54 designers and companies. The showcase event was set up to raise the profile of design created in Wales or work by Welsh designers. It was judged by prominent people in the design sector including Robert Maskrey and David Worthington of Conran Design Group and the Creative and Cultural Skills Council.
The Info Group, who have helped in the designing of Thrive said:
"we are delighted that your newsletter has been selected. The Fostering Network have managed to create something that is lively and interesting".
Maria Boffey, editor of Thrive, said:
"we are delighted that Thrive has been included in this exhibition. It's the icing on the cake of a very successful first year".
The Fostering Network Wales young people's bilingual newsletter Thrive is fast becoming the voice for young people affected by foster care in Wales. The newsletter is published on a quarterly basis and was supported in its first year by the Lloyds TSB foundation for England and Wales.
