Increase our impact
Since we began in 2019, £4,393,811 has been donated and used to buy food bank supplies, we’ve sent out food every week since the start of the pandemic, and fed an estimated 120,486+ people for a week.
Support our mission
Bankuet’s mission is to get food banks what they need, when they need it - and make it easier for people to give.
Help us operate sustainably
Currently, Bankuet only takes 7.5% of the donations we raise for operational costs and the platform is free for food banks to use.
Empower our team
We are currently resourced by an incredible hybrid team, a mixture of core volunteers and a small number of paid contractors.
