No one should be going hungry in the UK, and we need your help

Across the UK, more people are turning to food banks than ever before. Right now, 1 in 7 people in the UK are at risk of going hungry. Help food banks get exactly what they need, when they need it.

More people than ever are going hungry

Over 9.3 million people, including 3 million children, are experiencing severe poverty and hunger in the UK. Food banks are a vital lifeline, but they're struggling to keep up with rising demand and unpredictable donations.

Last year alone, over 3.1 million emergency food parcels were distributed across the UK, double what it was just five years ago. Behind every parcel is someone facing hardship, and food banks can't always provide what's most urgently needed. That's where Bankuet makes the difference.

Hear from food banks and donors about how Bankuet is making a difference.
Steph SercombeDonor"As a parent juggling work, school runs, and everything in between, I don’t always have time to drop off food donations, but I still want to help. Bankuet has been a game-changer. It takes just a minute to donate, and I know the food banks are getting exactly what they need. It’s reassuring to know we’re helping other families in a way that’s practical, respectful, and waste-free."
Lynda BattarbeeDirector of Network Operations at Trussell"Bankuet's digital-first model complements the traditional physical donation points our community of food banks has relied on over the years. The Bankuet model has given food banks access to different donors to help them get what they need when they need it."
Dan FrithFood bank manager, Wandsworth food bank"As the first local food bank to partner with Bankuet back in 2019, we’ve seen how their model has evolved to meet real needs. It’s a trusted, efficient way for us to receive exactly what’s needed, when it’s needed, and we're thankful to the generous people who give via Bankuet to help people in hardship."
Alison-Inglis JonesFood bank volunteer and former Trussell board member"As someone who’s volunteered in food banks for years, I’ve seen first-hand how Bankuet’s approach cuts waste and fills the critical gaps. It’s a thoughtful, modern solution that makes a tangible difference to families in need."
Steve WatkinsCo-founder at The Fisheries"We were delighted to host a fundraising dinner in support of Bankuet and their vital work supplying food to local food banks. It was a fantastic evening, and we’re proud to have played a part in helping their mission to feed those in need."
Andrew Forsley OBENational director at Feeding Britain "Bankuet have created a model that gets essential food and household supplies to the right places, at the right time, reducing inefficiency and supporting communities under immense strain. In doing so, they help strengthen the safety net for people facing hardship. It’s exactly the kind of joined-up, innovative thinking that we need more of to tackle hunger across the UK."
Elizabeth MorseDonor"Bankuet takes the stress out of giving. It’s fast, transparent, and I know I’m helping in a way that works for food banks."
