MORE than 100 pupils showed their support for a national campaign by making badges in its honour.

And six of the best young artists were rewarded for their efforts by being presented with certificates and gift vouchers by the Mayor of Middlesbrough, Councillor Kath Bevington.

Year five pupils from Middlesbrough's Ayresome Junior School took part in the badge making as part of World Mental Health Day.

They wore their creations on a guided walk around the town's Albert Park, in which they were accompanied by service users from Parkside Mental Health Resource Centre.
