In the UK there are more than 1.3 million children and young people living with a disability and nearly four million children living in poverty.

We exist to improve the lives of these children and since 1949 Variety in the UK has raised more than £270m in pursuit of this objective.

Variety provides practical, tangible help that makes an immediate difference, which includes grants for specialist equipment as well as accessible transport used by schools and other non-profit organisations across the UK. Our Great Days Out are legendary.

As with many organisations we are re-calibrating to adjust to the changes that have been brought by the Coronavirus pandemic, which has only increased the demand for what we do.

Our 75th anniversary in 2024 is fast approaching, which gives us a huge opportunity to put 2020/21 firmly behind us, and to re-double our efforts in generating funds, raising our profile, and most importantly increasing the impact and reach to those children and young people who most need our support. The Corporate Partnerships Team plays an integral role in the organisation’s growth.

We are looking for an experienced and highly proactive Corporate Partnerships Manager to secure new strategic, commercial, and charity-of-the-year partnerships, with a focus on those with a high return value.

About FareShare

FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to almost 10,000 frontline charities and community groups. During 2021, we redistributed 127 million meals, the equivalent of 4 meals every second through our FareShare Regional Centres and our retail surplus model FareShare Go, reaching over 1 million people.

FareShare exists because of two hugely important and highly topical issues. As a consequence of supply and demand, huge volumes of food are grown or made in the UK and a small percentage ends up as unwanted surplus with little commercial value. At the same time, there are many thousands of frontline community groups and charities that are providing a vital safety net for the most vulnerable in our society. We seek to squeeze as much social good out of that uneconomic surplus by getting it to almost 10,000 such groups across the UK whilst they provide essential wraparound support services for their beneficiaries.

The Cost of Living Crisis and before it, the COVID-19, have shone a spotlight on the issue of food insecurity in the UK and with it, FareShare’s ability to get food to vulnerable communities nationwide. It is estimated that over 4.7m UK households are now experiencing food insecurity and whilst the equivalent of 1.3bn meals of good surplus food occurs each year, FareShare believes that it is wrong for these two situations to co-exist.

To combat this, FareShare is moving into an ambitious 4 year programme to achieve unparalleled growth in both our food volumes as well as our fundraised income. We are driven by the opportunity to secure even more of the food available at farm gate, manufacturing and retail levels and to do this, we need to maximise our new groundswell of public support to generate the funds needed to operate at this greater scale.

There has never been a more exciting time to join a relevant organisation which delivers both social and environmental impact, at such a crucial time.

By joining us you would be leading some of our most important work in helping us generate more support from donors, corporate food and fundraising partners, foundations and volunteers as we strive in our ambition to meet the demand for food to support the UK’s most vulnerable.

FareShare’s Strategy & Vision

Vision: We have the vision of a UK where “No good food goes to waste”.

Mission: To use surplus, fit for consumption, food to feed those who are vulnerable in the UK by supporting front line charitable organisations that tackle the cause and not just the symptoms of food poverty.

Your role will be pivotal working alongside Head of Finance and Director of Finance and Resources to deliver high quality financial planning to support the delivery of our strategy.
