Local Brand Champions (Christmas 2020)

About us

Bankuet are on a mission to get food banks what they need when they need it and make it easier for people to give. We have a vision of no-one in the UK going hungry, and Bankuet not having to exist, but at the moment the situation is getting worse. The pandemic, impending recession and government policy meaning that food inequality and food insecurity in Britain is impacting millions and millions of people and families daily. There is significant societal change needed but first we're just trying to make sure this crisis is no longer hidden and that those who can help can see and understand the sheer horrifying magnitude of the problem and be able to help however they can in a safe and easy way.

What we're looking for

People who have a natural advocacy for social justice and are motivated to help within their communities and those in surrounding areas. Our volunteer Brand Champions need to be friendly, happy to chat to a wide range of people and able to clearly communicate why Bankuet exists to generate active engagement. They need to be willing to keep trying, to engage the right people quickly, to think creatively to bring ideas to the table and ultimately be a brilliant Bankuet brand advocate.

We're initially looking for people to help us activate our Christmas 2020 campaign between now and the end of the year. There will be opportunities to extend beyond that but that's the initial commitment we're looking for.

• Build a database of key contacts for the communities - leaders, active members, organisers
• Reach out to the communities and drive active engagement with Bankuet to deliver fundraising campaigns, donations, subscription donor acquisition and general awareness
• Represent the community partners to the core Bankuet team to ensure we can build strong, meaningful, long-term relationships with the partners and all key stakeholders are engaged and happy
