Amy stole the show with her NHS-inspired design:
Ellie wowed the judges with this entry, which she designed to overcome some of the problems her Nanna has using her wheelchair. Ellie said “With this wheelchair Nanna would be able to come and put my brother and sister to bed instead of just waving them off, she can also be a bit more of the adventurous and free person she is. I just wanted to do this for her and also to donate to others like my Nanna as I think everyone deserves to have their freedom and I know that my Nanna will get hers.”
