Iseult Ward, Co-Founder & CEO at FoodCloud with Aoibheann O'Brien Co-Founder & Director of Developement and Innovation at FoodCloud:

Today we’re delighted to be here at a celebration of the extension of the AIB and FoodCloud Partnership and the launch of the Community Meals Programme, which is made possible through the partnership with AIB.

A core part of the AIB–FoodCloud partnership is the volunteer programme. We’ve been delighted to welcome over 2,000 AIB volunteers, and now we’re really excited that we’re also going to be welcoming AIB volunteers here to the community kitchen, where they’ll be preparing meals for community partners - and also honing their skills that they can take home to reduce food waste at home.

[Cut to footage of volunteers stirring large pots, weighing ingredients, and serving meals.]

Barry Field, Corporate Affairs Director at AIB:

According to the latest UN food waste report, over one billion meals are wasted worldwide per day.

We have enough food to feed the globe; we just need to be investing in sustainable food systems to ensure no food goes to waste.

We’re delighted to be supporting FoodCloud over the next three years. We believe we’ll be helping FoodCloud enable Ireland to build the circular economy that Ireland needs - to marry social and environmental impact.

Brendan Dowling, Whitefriar Community Council, AIB Community Meal Customer:

I think what makes FoodCloud particularly unique for us is the service addresses genuine needs in our families. Food challenge is something all of us - no matter where we’re living - are facing.

It’s particularly acute in areas like ours.

[Footage shows people unloading boxes of rescued food, community members sharing meals, and volunteers smiling.]

Lara Coyle Community & Partnerships at AIB:

Three more years of our partnership together will enable FoodCloud, of course, to continue the work that they’re doing. It’ll also raise awareness in AIB - you know, it’s a mutual partnership.

I’ve been able to experience it, from cleaning in the fields, in the hubs, and now in the kitchens and community meals.

[Clips show volunteers harvesting vegetables, sorting food in warehouses, and cooking in kitchens.]

So FoodCloud are at every exit point at which food can be wasted - and they’re there to redistribute that food to communities that need it.
