Kids' dreams for the future could win them sports coaching sessions plus money for their school.

Children are sending in pictures of what they want to do in the future for the Dare to Dream competition run by clothing brand Mini Men UK and coaching company EzeeSport.

The winning picture will be printed onto t-shirts and 40 per cent of the proceeds will be given to the child's school.

Kelechi Ijomanta, 30, from Headley Grove, Tadworth, came up with the idea of creating a clothing line to inspire young boys in the wake of the London riots.

Miss Ijomanta, whose four-year-old son Elijah has just started at Woodmansterne Primary School, Woodmansterne, said: "The competition was to give something back.

"I wanted children to dream about and express their feelings about what they want to be when they grow up."

Miss Ijomanta grew up in Tottenham and her brother was friends with Mark Duggan whose fatal shooting by police sparked days of London riots in 2011.

After the riots, she had the idea of starting a clothing line which was positive and encouraged children to dream.

To enter you must be under 12 years old. The closing date is December 18 and the winner will be announced on January 7.

Send drawings to 66 Headley Grove, Tadworth, Surrey, KT20 5JF.

Name, age, school and class must be written on the back of the drawing.
