Since 2014 we’ve turned our attention to address the linked issues of food poverty & unhealthy diets. We’ve pioneered the use of financial incentives through the development of the Rose Vouchers for Fruit & Veg Project. The Project has grown from two small pilots supporting 45 families, to today, where we support over 1,900 families every week in seven areas across the UK – four London Boroughs, Barnsley, Liverpool and our newest project in Glasgow. In Spring 2022 we are launching our eighth project in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Main Purpose of the Role

We’re looking for a passionate, experienced, delivery-focused Project Coordinator, to join our growing team.
