Southend Foodbank is excited to announce the results of its first ever Southend Foodbank Design Challenge, where local schools from Southend and Rochford were invited to design a "Thank You" sticker for the foodbank’s 2025 supermarket collections. The competition sparked creativity and enthusiasm, with over 120 entries submitted by students from six participating schools.
The challenge aimed to engage young people in the important work of Southend Foodbank while giving them the opportunity to contribute to its mission of supporting the community. Students were tasked with creating a design that would capture the spirit of gratitude for those donating to the foodbank’s cause.

We shared a reel on social media to showcase the designs and the fantastic response to the challenge.
After careful consideration by a panel of volunteers, trustees and staff, the winning design was selected. The talented winner, Rico Thomson, a student from Bournemouth Park Academy, Southend, impressed the judges with his thoughtful and vibrant design. In addition, two runners-up were chosen from Westerings Primary School and Friars Primary School, both submissions showcased strong artistic expression and a meaningful connection to the foodbank’s mission.
Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone who took part in the challenge!
