About FareShare
FareShare is the UK’s largest food redistribution charity, working with a network of 18 independent organisations to make sure good quality surplus food reaches people who need it most, rather than being wasted. We rescue food from farms, factories, supermarkets and food outlets and send it to almost 9,000 charities working on the frontline to support their communities. FareShare food nourishes people in need and connects them with vital support services to help them build a brighter future.
Every day, millions of people skip meals or go without any food, driven to food insecurity by the cost of living crisis. Yet at the same time, over three million tonnes of good to eat food goes to waste in the UK – enough for 7 billion meals.
In 2022/23, FareShare redistributed enough food for almost 130 million meals, but we know there is more food out there that could be used to support communities in need rather than needlessly wasted. This is an exciting time to join FareShare, as we embark on a new, ambitious three-year strategy that will maximise the social and environmental impact of rescuing surplus food.
The role
FareShare has a vibrant Fundraising team that has achieved incredible growth in support across income streams over recent years. At the same time, the organisation is passionate and committed to expanding our work so more surplus food can reach thousands of charities and community groups nationwide. To meet this ambition, we need to continue to grow our income and are looking for a Trusts and Grants Assistant who will be a key part of our Trusts and Grants team.
This is a new role that will lead on securing and managing grants of up to £10,000 and will provide support to the wider team on a range of functions, from bid development and supporter care, to research and prospecting, income reconciliation and record keeping. It joins a team of five that manage a diverse range of partnerships worth more than £4m each year.
This is an excellent opportunity for somebody looking to start or develop a career in Trusts fundraising whilst working in a successful and supportive team.
