Trustees: Chair, Fundraising and Governance

Food Bank Aid is a dynamic and committed organisation, full of people who care deeply about the impact of poverty on the lives of Londoners.
• Poverty rates in London have been higher than in the rest of England for at least the last two decades
• Latest reports have also captured that London has the highest child poverty rate in England with 1 in 3 children (700,000) living in poverty.
Poverty Hurts More Than Just Pockets. It steals health. It erodes confidence. It causes stigma. It isolates.
Now is our time to act.

Food Bank Aid is a young charity with a clear sense of purpose of keeping the food banks fed, and we want to reach even more food banks in the years ahead. 

We are appointing three new Trustees to strengthen our Board, broaden our expertise and support the setting and delivery of our strategy for the next phase of the charity’s development. These appointments reflect our ambition for Food Bank Aid’s future and our commitment to building a Board that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.

The three profiles of expertise sought are:
1. A Chair (with previous leadership experience ideally in the not-for-profit sector)
2. A Trustee with income generation experience and expertise
3. A Trustee with Charity Governance experience

We value curiosity, integrity, thoughtful judgement and a genuine commitment and passion to our mission. 

If our purpose resonates with you and you want to make a meaningful difference for food banks and their clients in London, we would be delighted to hear from you.

The deadline for applications is 2nd March 2026.
