Bringo Fresh

We leverage technology to connect farmers and retailers to reduce cost and ensure transparency and traceability.

The traditional fresh produce supply chain in Africa needs organization and transparency. Currently, it is highly fragmented, making it difficult for farmers to get fair prices. Farmers often find themselves at the mercy of middlemen who offer low farm gate prices for their produce. This not only affects their livelihoods but also discourages them from investing in their farms and improving the quality of their produce. Conversely, retailers face the challenge of high fluctuating prices for low-quality fresh produce. This not only affects their profit margins but also hampers their ability to provide customers with consistent and high-quality produce.

Bringo Fresh leverages technology to shorten the fresh produce supply chain. Our platform connects farmers and retailers, eliminating the need for multiple intermediaries. This not only reduces costs but also ensures transparency and traceability throughout the process.

Are you a committed environmentalist and a strategic thinker? Do you have skills in devising and managing or communicating about community based, environmental projects?

The Railway Land Wildlife Trust is seeking passionate and strategic individuals to join our Board of Trustees.

We’re particularly interested in those with skills in communications, fundraising or environmental projects. As a Trustee, you’ll help shape the future of our work, protecting and restoring habitats while deepening people’s connection to nature.

As a Trustee, you will:

- Support our strategic vision via one of our sub-committees (Project Strategy or Communications & Fundraising)
- Share your expertise to help us grow and diversify our impact
- Work collaboratively with a small, committed team driving grassroots environmental change

We are seeking additional Trustees to help Gambling Lived Experience Network (GLEN) to continue to act as an independent voice raising awareness of, and offering support to people affected by, gambling related harms.

Gambling Harms actively impact over 7 million GB residents each year, with an estimated 1.3 million actively engaging in harmful gambling. Millions more experience legacy harms long after gambling has stopped being a 'live issue' in the lives of individuals and their family members.

GLEN is a network charity (CIO) seeking to amplify the voices of those who have experienced and intimately understand what gambling harms are, and how they manifest in individual, family and community environments.

We are a strong advocate and supporter of the power of Lived and Living Experience and accordingly seek individuals who share our vision of needing the voices and experiential knowledge embodied in LLE to have a central role in shaping our societies understanding and response to what is a growing public health concern.

Time-wise, we simply ask a few hours per month, mainly through attendance at GLEN board meetings which are usually hosted online 4-5 times per year.

Support-wise, we welcome any and all support you can offer us.

We particularly welcome individuals who have themselves experienced harms caused through gambling - whether through their own gambling or the gambling of a loved one - but this is not a requirement. The only requirement we really seek is a commitment and alignment with our charitable goals of empowering LLE to have its voice heard and acted upon.
