What Is A Multibank?

A Multibank is a clothes, bedding, baby, hygiene toy and furniture bank all rolled into one. The idea is simple: companies have the surplus goods people need and local charities know the people who need them. The Multibank initiative connects the two to reduce the effects of poverty, enable children to access opportunities while contributing to a sustainable economy.

How Does A Multibank Work?

Founded in Fife in December 2021 by former UK Prime Minister Brown, Amazon UK and local charity partner The Cottage Family Centre in Kirkcaldy, the Multibank model works at the grass roots with family centre charities in communities and redistributes business surplus to support families struggling with the cost of living Our founding partner, Amazon UK, has developed a pioneering “click and collect” system for multibanking which shares a weekly inventory of donated essential goods from each of our five Multibanks, with their local community groups, charities and care professionals so that they can order the exact products they know are needed, for free. This ensures no good product goes to waste, and that people struggling to make ends meet get the essential goods needed to care for themselves, their children and and keep their houses homely.
