Support Multibank Scotland: Transform lives and rebuild communities

We are redefining how businesses can make a real difference in communities facing unprecedented poverty and crisis. We invite companies of all sizes to partner with us to Fight Poverty and Fight Pollution.

Why support Multibank Scotland?

In Scotland, millions of families struggle daily with basic necessities. Between 2020 and 2023, 24% of all children lived in poverty, with many families facing heartbreaking decisions between heating and eating or buying soap versus school supplies. By partnering with us, your company can be part of the solution:

What Multibank Scotland offers businesses

Brand integrity and recognition

Your reputation is your greatest asset, and we prioritise safeguarding it. Our rigorous vetting processes ensure donations reach trustworthy, regulated charities that can maximise their impact. This means your contributions will directly benefit those most in need while reinforcing your company's commitment to making a positive impact.

One-stop donation hub

Multibanks provide a seamless process for donating surplus goods. We serve as a single access point to distribute goods efficiently across a network of vetted local charities, teachers, social workers and food banks.

Circular economy alignment

Join the movement toward a circular economy. By donating surplus goods, you reduce environmental impact, avoid landfill costs, and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.

Volunteering and engagement

You already know your employees are capable of incredible things. By partnering with our Community Engagement Programme, your team’s passion and potential are transformed into a powerful force for positive change. We’ll help you organise a company- or department-wide event that benefits a local charity partner in your area, making an immediate impact on individuals and families in need within your community.

Measurable social impact

For every pound invested, we generate up to £9.75 in social value. Benefits include reduced financial strain on families, improved child well-being and stronger community ties. Your contributions could be the difference that prevents a family from falling into homelessness or ensures children can thrive in school.

How to get started

  1. Donate goods

    We accept a wide range of surplus or slightly damaged goods, including non-perishable food, hygiene products, baby supplies, bedding and furnishings. Every donation helps fill the gap for struggling families and prevents valuable products from going to waste.

  2. Provide financial support

    By donating to Multibank Scotland, you are funding the critical infrastructure, logistics and support systems that ensure surplus goods are transformed into impactful resources for families and children in need.

  3. Supply products at cost

    Manufacturers can make a significant impact by offering essential items—like soap, duvets or canned goods—at production cost. This allows us to address immediate shortages and plan for future needs.

  4. Volunteer your time

    Engage your employees in meaningful activities like inventory sorting, event planning or assembling kits of essential items.
