Competition launched to find real-life Dickens characters. Dickens helped to found the Journalists’ Charity in 1864. To mark the 150th anniversary of his death, the charity is asking for written portraits of a modern-day Dickensian character. The subject could be someone in public life, including a politician or and celebrity, or an NHS worker helping to stem the spread of the coronavirus.
Do you know anyone who’s a real life Dickens character? Are you an Artful Dodger or a David Copperfield?
