MEET BASTION THE BULLDOG, OUR NEW MASCOT!

We are ecstatic and extremely proud to announce that the Standing Tall Foundation now has an official Mascot!

Meet our new furry friend “Bastion the Bulldog” who will be representing the Foundation at all our events moving forward.

Back in the summer we launched a mascot competition across all the primary schools in the Borough asking the children to design a mascot based on our Co-Founder Andy’s background and our Foundation values:

• BE KIND
• HELP OTHERS
• HAVE COURAGE
• BE MINDFUL
• BE HONEST

We were amazed by the response and the fantastic designs we received back from the children. So much so, it was virtually impossible for us to choose only one winner! The Mascot was kindly sponsored by our Foundation partner A+B Engineering who came and helped us judge all the entries. In the end, we combined the designs across three schools – Haydock English Martyrs, Rainford C of E and Eccleston Mere Primary.

The dog was named “Bastion” after Andy’s stay in Camp Bastion after he was severely injured whilst on patrol as a soldier in Afghanistan.

And here he is!
