Increase your impact with Bankuet and join hundreds of food banks

You’re doing everything you can to support your community, but it’s getting harder to keep up with demand. You’re not alone. Bankuet is here to help you get the right supplies, when they’re needed most.

You shouldn't have to do this alone

You know your community best. But when donations don't match what's actually needed, you end up with too much of some things, and not enough of others. Essentials like UHT Milk, Tinned Tuna or Toiletries run out, and people go without.

That's not okay. And it's why Bankuet exists. We're here to back you up, make things easier, and connect your food bank with the support it needs to keep going strong.

How Bankuet works for food banks:

1. Set up your Bankuet pageStart receiving donations from individuals, organisations or local groups, without extra admin.

2. Request what's neededUse your donations to submit your shopping list each week (or whenever it's needed) on Bankuet.

3. We sort the restWe'll work with trusted suppliers to get those items delivered directly to your food bank.

Why join Bankuet?

Bankuet is completely free for food banks. We handle the tech, the donations, and the logistics, so you can focus on serving your community. Once you're up and running, people donate through your page, and we turn those donations into deliveries of exactly what you ask for.

More effective donations

Thanks to what we call the Maximiser Effect, every £1 donated through Bankuet typically delivers more than £1 worth of supplies, through the power of bulk buying.

It means your supporters' generosity goes even further, getting more food and essentials to the people who need them. We're regulated by the Fundraising Regulator and always open to feedback.

Why food banks love Bankuet

When your food bank signs up with Bankuet, it's not just about getting you more donations, it's about getting you the right kind of support, in the right way. Here are just some of the reasons food banks join:

1. Targeted donations

Every week, food banks tell us exactly what items they need and how much. Donations then go towards those specific items, so nothing goes to waste, and every pound has more impact.

2. Smarter supply chains

We order supplies in bulk from trusted suppliers and deliver them directly, quickly, efficiently and with less admin.

3. No storage stress

With Bankuet, food banks only receive what they've asked for. That means no cluttering their shelves, and they never have to turn donations away due to lack of space.

4. Flexible on-demand support

Bankuet donations don't expire. Food banks can use their balance when the need is greatest, whether that's tomorrow or six weeks from now.

5. Year round reliability

Giving tends to spike around Christmas or school holidays, but hunger doesn't follow a calendar. Bankuet smooths out those peaks and troughs, providing consistent support all year round.

6. Tech-driven simplicity

Food banks request supplies through our easy-to-use web app. Supporters can donate in just a few clicks. Less paperwork. Less guesswork. More impact.
