About The Logo
In 2019 we held a competition for the patients of Little Plumstead to design our logo. Our winning entry was by David Lewis. The judging panel particularly liked his vibrant choice of colour, and the hope and positivity of the sunshine imagery.
The original logo that David designed is today a well-recognised symbol of the network and is the inspiration for the imagery of the website. In 2023, David sadly passed away. We have very fond memories of David and thank him again for providing our beautiful logo.
David Lewis (1972- 2023)
