Litter Angels Winner Presented with Poster

A Litter Angel has had her winning poster design put up in local McDonald’s car parks following last year’s anti-litter poster competition in primary schools across Sittingbourne and Sheppey.

Zosia Szancilo, who attends Borden C of E Primary School, won the 2021 Litter Angels competition. She was presented with a certificate, a personalised mug and a £50 cheque, whilst her winning poster was printed onto a metal plaque and will be displayed in the car parks of the McDonald’s restaurants, along with previous winning posters.

Local MP Gordon Henderson helped Matt Hogben, manager of McDonald’s in Mill Way, Sittingbourne, presented Zosia with her very own plaque to hang in her bedroom.

Mr Henderson, who created the Litter Angels charity, told SFM News: "The theme of last year’s competition was that the poster had to include Keep Britain Tidy’s Tidyman logo, which Zosia incorporated onto a bin in her design of a clean and tidy park scene. Her poster won because it was very bold and colourful with a clear message to encourage people to pick up litter. Zosia captured the essence of what Litter Angels is about, which is to improve our local environment by reducing the amount of litter that is dropped in our streets and fields."
