Join Us as a Trustee and Help Tackle Food Poverty in Hackney

We are a dynamic, mission-driven charity with a turnover of £1.5 million, working at the heart of East London to address food poverty and support our richly diverse community. Our work is impactful, community-led, and more vital than ever.

We are now seeking two new Trustees to join our dedicated Board.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for individuals who are:

  • Passionate about social justice and food insecurity and committed to making a meaningful difference in East London.
  • Able to dedicate time for 5 Board meetings per year (including one all-day away day), as well as 4–5 committee meetings annually.
  • Willing to engage actively between meetings, contributing to decision-making, strategic guidance, and supporting our staff and volunteers.

We are particularly keen to appoint trustees with expertise in:

  • Legal affairs, to help us navigate governance, compliance, and contractual matters.
  • Human Resources / Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), to support us in ensuring our organisation reflects and serves our community with integrity and care.

However, we welcome applicants with other relevant skills or lived experience that could enrich our work.

Why Join Us?

As a trustee, you’ll be part of a committed, forward-thinking team, helping to shape the strategic direction of a charity that has a direct, positive impact on people’s lives. This is an opportunity to apply your knowledge, grow your experience, and support a cause that matters.

If you share our values and are ready to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Closing date 11th August
