MP for Jarrow and Gateshead East, Kate Osborne, has launched the competition with the theme “90th anniversary of the Jarrow crusade.”

The designs should be posted to Kate Osborne’s office, The Clervaux Exchange, Clervaux Terrace, Jarrow, NE32 5UP, or contact the MP’s office to arrange collection.
Kate Osborne, via Facebook, said: “I’m really excited to have launched my Christmas Card competition with primary schools in Jarrow and Gateshead East with this year’s theme being the 90th anniversary of the Jarrow Crusade.
“If you're a primary school aged child and would like to submit an individual entry, please send your design to my office by 6th November 2026.“
