Suffolk Community Food Network: Alternative Food Supplies Webinar

Join us for our new Suffolk Community Food Network webinar series! This session will focus on how community food projects can access more food supplies through exploring two different platforms: Ankosé and Bankuet.

Meet the Speakers
Ankosé – Colin Kiddell
Bankuet – Robin Ferris

• Ankosé: Ankosé is a CIC working to make a sustainable food system for all. An alternative to relying solely on surplus supplies, they offer high quality grocery supplies to community food projects at a lower price, enabling projects to get the food their customers want, when they need it. Colin Kiddell, founder of Ankosé, will be telling us all about Ankosé, what it stands for, how it works for members, and how to get started.
• Bankuet: Bankuet’s platform enables community food projects to fundraise more easily and efficiently. Donations are then turned into the supplies food projects and food banks need most. Food projects request their own deliveries to order, so nothing goes to waste. Robin Ferris, founder of Bankuet, was recently awarded an honorary doctorate for his amazing work at Bankuet from the University of Northumbria – he will be joining our webinar to tell us all about the platform and how your food projects can get started.
