The Multibank is a UK-based charitable initiative that operates a network of community donation hubs. It collects surplus essential goods from businesses and redistributes them to vulnerable families through local charities and social workers. Founded by Gordon Brown, the initiative aims to combat poverty and reduce waste by connecting corporate surplus with those in need. The Multibank began in 2022 with its first hub, "The Big House," in Fife, Scotland, and has since expanded nationwide. It partners with organizations like Amazon and Comic Relief to facilitate logistics and funding. The network emphasizes sustainability by repurposing goods such as bedding, clothing, hygiene products, and household items, ensuring they reach families who require support. To date, the initiative has donated over 7 million goods to more than 600,000 families across various regions, including Greater London, South Wales, and the West Midlands.
