A YOUNGSTER has won a national competition to design a T-shirt in aid of a children's charity.

Four-year-old Elizabeth Parker was presented with £250 and one of the limited edition T-shirts bearing her design at the Tesco store, in Station Road, Thirsk.

In June, she entered a competition run through Tesco to design a T-shirt in support of the company's charity of the year, Whizz-Kidz.

Her picture of a dancing bear beat hundreds of other entries. The T-shirts will be sold through clothing label Cherokee.

Whizz-Kidz helps disabled children to have more active lives by providing them with equipment, training and advice.

Tesco and Whizz-Kidz hope to provide equipment and advice for 391 children across Britain through their partnership.
