Altrincham Talks: The Business Edit – Episode 14

In Episode 14 of Altrincham Talks the Business Edit, we’re joined by Duncan Swainsbury, founder of Bounceback Food, a not-for-profit social enterprise with a powerful mission to tackle food poverty while creating opportunities for people to thrive. Duncan’s journey is anything but conventional, starting his career as a school teacher before following a clear passion for food, community and social impact.

We explore how Bounceback Food was born, how the organisation pivoted and scaled during Covid, and why Altrincham became home to their first community kitchen. Duncan shares how Bounceback now runs community cookery schools, distributes non-perishable food and freshly prepared meals, and works at the heart of local communities to create lasting change.

With a bold vision to see Bounceback Food operating in every major city in the UK, this episode is an inspiring conversation about purpose-led enterprise, resilience, and the power of community, all rooted right here in Altrincham.
