Since stepping into the role of Chair last year, I’ve been continually inspired by the passion, expertise, and commitment of our trustees and staff. Their collective experience has been invaluable as we navigate the evolving challenges facing the sector.
While the external environment remains complex for all charities, we are focused on the future – confident in our direction and energised by the opportunities ahead. We are now seeking new trustees to join us on this journey and help shape the next chapter of our work.” - Rebecca Crook

Location: Hybrid / National
Time commitment: Equivalent of 1 day a month
Applications close at 9 a.m. Wednesday 1st October
Who we are
Foodrise is a charity transforming the food system for climate, nature and justice. We take bold action to uncover the root causes of injustice in our food system and expose how corporate power exploits people and the planet — while building truly just and resilient alternatives from the ground up.
Our vision: Foodrise is fighting for a world where food is good for people and planet.
About the role
As a Trustee of Foodrise, you will play a vital role in shaping the strategic direction of our charity. Your leadership and expertise will help us expand our impact, strengthen our governance, and drive innovation. Our board is committed, engaged, and passionate about the work we do. We are now looking for Trustees to bring in fresh perspectives and diverse ways of thinking, ensuring our board reflects the communities we serve.
The charity has gone through a rebrand and is in the process of developing a new strategy. With that, we are looking for someone who can bring experience, knowledge and insight as we continue to help further our mission of a food system that regenerates the natural world while sustaining people on a fair basis.
Who we are looking for
We are seeking passionate, strategic, and forward-thinking individuals who can bring diverse perspectives and expertise to our board. Above all, we are looking for people who share our mission and will champion our values. We are particularly keen to hear from those with specialist skills in:
- Financial expertise, particularly an understanding of charity finance
- Human resources and safeguarding
If you are ready to help create a fairer, more sustainable food system, we would love to hear from you.
With quarterly board meetings, committee work, any ad hoc conversations and engagement with our dedicated team, and the thoughtful preparation these responsibilities need, you can expect to invest approximately the equivalent of up to a day a month.
Foodrise is actively seeking to move through an anti-racist and anti-oppressive journey in every aspect of its work.
