About Sustain
Sustain is a powerful alliance bringing together around 100 organisations nationally – and hundreds more at local and regional level. We believe everyone should have access to healthy and sustainably produced food that protects people, animals and planet. Working together, we run highly effective and creative campaigns, advocacy, networks and demonstration projects, aiming to catalyse permanent changes in policy and practice, and to help equip more people and communities with skills as change-makers.
About the Bridging the Gap programme
Bridging the Gap is an exciting new initiative for Sustain, working in partnership with Alexandra Rose Charity, Growing Communities (as part of the Better Food Traders Network) and partners in the four Nations, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
Bridging the Gap aims to demonstrate how to build better supply chains that connect climate-friendly food and people on a lower income. It will also identify and advocate for financial interventions and other mechanisms to enable its work to continue in the longer term. Bridging the Gap will run and test pilot interventions over three years, with the possibility of the work, funding and post being extended for a longer period.
Food that is good for people and the planet, benefits communities and supports decent livelihoods is currently more expensive than food that is bad for health and produced in ways that damage the planet. We want to build a new vision for how climate-friendly food can be accessible to all and how the difference in price can be paid for by public finance or in other ways. This will be a journey of testing out new approaches to doing things along the food supply chain, showing why this is important and how it could be continued in the future when Big Lottery funding ceases and costs need to be covered from the public purse or other financial mechanisms, such as vouchers, healthy food on prescription or pay-it-forward schemes, paid for as an investment in public health and the natural environment.
Bridging the Gap will be steered by a Programme Management Board, and work with an Advisory Group, community organisations and values-led food traders, in a spirit of collaboration and enquiry.
The Bridging the Gap programme forms part of the Good Food Economy theme of Sustain’s five-year strategy, Fertile Future. This is an emerging area of work for Sustain, building on other existing activities on food justice and sustainable farming.
About this role
The Programme Coordinator will set up and lead this exciting new initiative. This is a new programme leadership role at Sustain, working closely with and reporting to our Programmes Director. We have ambitions for Bridging the Gap to grow into a significant multiple-partner, longer-term programme for Sustain and our alliance, working across the UK.
The person appointed to the role will build great relationships with and between many organisations, inside and outside of our existing alliance, to achieve a shared vision. We are especially keen to work with under-represented communities, and with organisations led by and serving ethnically diverse communities.
Sustain is seeking a Programme Coordinator with exceptional networking, project management and communication skills, who is excited by the challenge and opportunities presented by a programme trying to bring about societal change through the food system. They will have the confidence, energy and drive to cultivate a shared vision, spirit of enquiry and effective implementation to enable change.
The Bridging the Gap Programme Coordinator will work with Sustain, programme partners and the funders to secure the next phase of funding and cultivate other funders and financial mechanisms to support this work in the longer term.
This role is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
