Artists unveil exclusive plate designs for Russell Hobbs and Action Against Hunger partnership

Unique artwork will raise funds for the global charity at auction

Russell Hobbs has announced the chosen artists for its global charity partnership with Action Against Hunger, unveiling exclusive limited-edition designs for the campaign.

Russell Hobbs’ Plates for Change campaign saw artists from the UK, Spain, Poland and Germany commissioned to each create a one-of-a-kind plate for the campaign, engaging with audiences across Europe to highlight the importance of nutrition for overall wellbeing. The final plates will now be auctioned off to raise vital funds to support Action Against Hunger’s life-saving programme.

Artists commissioned to take part in the campaign include: 

• Alice Ferns, an illustrator based in Bristol, UK

• Josephine Rais, an illustrator based in Berlin, Germany

• Ana Jarén, an illustrator based in Madrid, Spain

• Anna Rudak, an illustrator based in Gdańsk, Poland

Artists were selected based on the vibrancy of their portfolio, and their interest in creating art that showcases the power of food and nutrition.

Founded in 1979, Action Against Hunger operates in 56 countries and, in 2024, supported 26.5 million people in their fight against hunger and malnutrition. Its work combines frontline emergency response with long-term programmes to prevent and treat malnutrition, ensuring children and adults everywhere can access proper nutrition.

Robyn Milner, Global Brand Partnerships Manager at Spectrum Brands, said: “At Russell Hobbs, we believe everyday moments in the home can be a powerful force for good. By collaborating with artists across the world, we hope to inspire communities both locally and nationally to take action and shine a light on the urgent issue of global hunger.”

Sarah Canniford, Head of Partnerships at Action Against Hunger, said: “It's a privilege to collaborate with such gifted artists who share our commitment to ending hunger. Today, one in 11 people go to bed hungry every night, a fact that demands more than awareness. Art has the power to move people and we hope it inspires everyone to take meaningful action, however small, for those living with hunger and malnutrition.”

The final plates will be auctioned online, with all funds raised donated to support Action Against Hunger’s food security programmes. The auction will run via Zeffy in June 2026, with proceeds raised going directly to the charity.
