Veganuary is the non-profit that encourages people to go vegan for the month of January - and beyond. We focus on changing consumer behaviours and attitudes, while providing lots of information and practical support - to make the transition to veganism as easy and enjoyable as possible.

We also work with businesses to drive up vegan food provisions in shops and restaurants and have made veganism more visible and accessible through our work with national and international media.

What we do

• Our Aim: A world without animal farms and slaughterhouses. A world where food production does not decimate forests, pollute rivers and oceans, exacerbate climate change and drive wild animal populations to extinction.
   
• Our Mission: To inspire and support people to try vegan, drive corporate change, and create a global mass movement, championing compassionate food choices with the aim of ending animal farming, protecting the planet, and improving human health.

We work toward our lofty ambitions by following a simple, 3-step plan:

1. Encouraging and supporting millions of people to try veganism.
    
2. Creating the necessary media and social media buzz to raise awareness of the topic and the benefits of a vegan lifestyle.
    
3. Encouraging companies to promote and launch more delicious vegan options to increase the quality, availability and visibility of vegan food.

How we do it

You’ll have no doubt seen our public campaigns for Veganuary, you may even have tried it yourself. We’re incredibly proud of the global movement we’ve built, and it continues to grow year-on-year.

The part of work you might be a little less familiar with is our work in influencing businesses. The more businesses speak positively about veganism and launch new vegan products, the better the availability, visibility and quality of vegan products becomes, making it easier and tastier to try vegan. This is inspiring more people to choose plant-based options and stick with it long term.

Amongst many others, we are incredibly proud to have worked with the following companies to increase their vegan offering:

• Deliveroo
• Cadbury
• McDonalds
• Starbucks

What we’re looking for

As we head into the next phase of our strategy, we are looking for a talented Head of Operations and Finance who can help us build a robust, sustainable organisation. You will help us to shore up our gains to date and capitalise on the increasing number of growth opportunities coming our way.

This is a reimagining of an existing role and represents an investment in the charity’s future. We are looking for someone who can work closely with the board and executive to devise and implement business plans that are robust enough to accommodate our rapid growth and flexible enough to take advantage of new opportunities.

You will lead on financial management, supervise and optimise the organisation’s operations in the UK, and support our growing international team in operational matters.

Playing a pivotal part in the Senior Management Team, you will be responsible for ensuring that Veganuary’s day-to-day operations - including governance, administration, HR, finance, legal and IT remain compliant, responsive and efficient.

We don’t believe in prescriptive person specifications, as they limit the diversity of experience on our teams. We have just three questions of you, before you apply:

• Are you a qualified finance professional with significant experience of overseeing finance functions in UK charities?
   
• Are you a skilled strategic thinker with a proactive approach to solving problems?
   
• Do you enjoy building efficient structures and processes that limit bureaucracy and drive growth?

If you like what you’ve read, and your answer to all three questions above is “yes”, I recommend that you read the application pack by following the link below and consider getting in touch to discuss the role in more detail.

Cambridge City Foodbank wants to recruit a CEO to make a reality of our vision to end poverty in our City. This is an exciting opportunity to lead this work at a time of major change and development, and to utilise your skills and experience in a challenging yet hugely worthwhile environment. 

CCFb was established in 2010 by a group of local churches, as an independent charity in its own right, to provide three days’ worth of food, packed according to family unit size, to people who found themselves in crisis need and unable to buy food. It now supports, on an annual basis, around 10,000 people, of whom 39% are children. In the past six months, 67 metric tonnes of non-perishable food was collected from 150 churches, 150 schools and colleges, 170 companies and organisations, 87 community groups and collections in 21 supermarkets. This food was given to those referred to CCFb by one of over 70 active voucher distributing agencies. In addition, those in fuel poverty are supported with top-up payments on their pre-payment meters from a budget of £100k this year. In the six months to the end of March 2022, CCFB’s income was £217,500, and its expenditure £164,400. We have substantial unrestricted reserves, built up as a result of the generosity of our supporters over the pandemic period, which we want to use to fund our strategic vision.

CCFb relies very heavily on a team of 180 highly motivated and dedicated volunteers who work in the distribution centres, the warehouses, the Fairbite shops and at head office. The previous two CEOs have also been volunteers. The Foodbank employs a full time Warehouse Manager and three part time operations staff.

We work in collaboration with the local Councils, the Cambridge Food Poverty Alliance, the Cambridge Financial Capabilities Network and the Cambridge Charities Forum.

We have recognised that growing numbers of individuals and families are suffering long-term poverty for which this established, short-term crisis relief is insufficient. We are starting to meet this need in a manner that is complementary to the core crisis provision, not a replacement of it. It will feature an expansion of our ‘Fairbite’ (community supermarket) provision whereby individuals become members, pay a small weekly subscription in return for which they are offered a choice of food staples either in a normalising shop setting or in a suitably designed church setting. This expansion will include additional opening hours and an increase in available membership at our existing Fairbite shops; and the eventual establishment of a chain of such shops in geographical areas of need.

We also have the intention to provide additional services to help people out of long-term poverty associated with one or more Fairbite shops to be termed ‘Fairbite Plus’, that may include more specialised signposting, debt and financial management advice, digital access, cooking classes, mental health advice, pre-employment training and legal advice, etc.Some of these services are likely to be run and managed by partner organisations. 

The main purpose of CCFb is the relief of poverty within a 25-mile radius of Cambridge. It is run as an incorporated registered charity with seven committed and experienced trustees, keen to make speedy progress to implement their strategic vision. We now want to recruit a CEO to help make a reality of that vision. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute towards the work of the foodbank in Cambridge at a time of change and development, and to utilise your skills and experience in a challenging and worthwhile environment.
