Meet the team
Alongside our dedicated trustees, a team of passionate individuals keeps things running smoothly at BanktheFood. Here are some of our team members you may come across;
Emma Spring
Emma co-founded BanktheFood and is a charity Trustee. A former primary school teacher and Local Authority Schools Adviser, Emma volunteers to manage the charity’s operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Emma was immediately drawn to the idea behind BanktheFood because she has seen how food insecurity affects children and families. This simple yet brilliant solution might make a monumental difference to food banks nationally and help those most vulnerable in our communities.
Daniel Owen
Dan, a co-founder of BanktheFood and charity trustee with a background in technology, marketing, and digital media, realised the potential of technology and founded BanktheFood.
As our tech genius, Dan and his team at Mustard New Media volunteer their time for BanktheFood, painstakingly tweaking, refining, and recoding the app to keep it running seamlessly for donors and food banks.
David Mills
Our Trustee, David, grew up in a household dependent on the benefits system and knows firsthand how important food banks are in helping people and families through difficult times.
With a successful career in investment banking, David volunteers his financial expertise to ensure our funds are managed with care, transparency, and financial responsibility.
Stass Daniells
Working closely with food banks, Stass is our PR whiz, creating gripping stories that grab media attention and appeal to supporters.
Stass manages our Food Bank Advisory Panel, where volunteers with experience in using or running a food bank help shape what we do. Stass would love to hear how BanktheFood has helped you.
Katherine Camps Kilgour
Katherine is our social media guru, keeping our community informed, engaged and motivated. Katherine’s passion for digital storytelling and community building raises awareness, encourages downloads and donations, and strengthens connections between food banks and our app users.
Katherine is always looking for nominations for Food Bank Hero, so if there is someone you would like to nominate, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Karen Broughton
Our admin ace, Karen, is the one who greets newly registered food banks and guides them through the onboarding process. She also responds to general queries that are sent towards the organisation.
If you are a food bank that has not yet registered with BanktheFood, please do not hesitate to get in contact with Karen. She will walk you through the simple actions that need to be taken.
