AIB - FoodCloud's Community Meals Programme

FoodCloud

AIB and FoodCloud have a shared vision of building more sustainable communities to support the just transition to a low carbon economy, and an Ireland where no good food goes to waste. Since the start of our partnership, AIB has enabled FoodCloud to redistribute over 28 million meals.

AIB employees have volunteered with FoodCloud, either in the Cork, Galway or Dublin Hubs, gleaning on farms, or through skilled volunteering, donating over 11,103  volunteering hours since 2018.

 

FoodCloud Community Meals Programme

AIB is the proud partner of FoodCloud’s Community Meals Programme, the latest innovation by FoodCloud in the fight against food waste and food insecurity. With AIB’s support, the programme increases FoodCloud’s social impact by offering a new meal service to its charity partners. The projected impact of the programme is the provision by FoodCloud of an additional 200,000 community meals, saving an additional 100 tones of surplus food from going to waste.

 

National Gallery of Ireland

AIB is delighted to sponsor the Portrait Prize and Young Portrait Prize at the National Gallery of Ireland.

AIB has, over many decades, offered significant support to the development of the arts in Ireland as part of its contribution to Irish society and the communities we serve. The AIB Art Collection is one of the finest single private collections of over 3,000 pieces of modern Irish works that capture a unique sense of time, place and human emotion and reflect the changing nature of Ireland’s cultural heritage.

AIB is pleased to sponsor these special competitions which reflect contemporary Ireland in all its diversity today. We look forward to supporting artists of all ages and celebrating the wealth of talent flourishing among communities across the country

This year our customers showed compassion, generosity and a desire to make a difference in communities local and global.

These are some of the ways AIB continues to support communities.

Our customers and the public nominated 80 brilliant charities to benefit from the AIB €1 million fund.

We walked, jogged and ran to help raise €630,000 to enable GOAL's humanitarian and developement work.

We continuie to support our partners FoodCloud through funding volunteering and storytelling.

While AsIAm collaborated with us to deliver training and supports to help make AIB more accessible for customers and colleagues.
