We’re a registered charity which means that our board of trustees collectively has overall accountability for our work and delivery. Trustees are volunteers and serve a three-year term.
You can read more about the responsibilities of trustees at the Charity Commission.
We’re looking for a treasurer from any background, of any age (must be over 16), with a good understanding of charity finance and who have a passion for food equity.
Our strategic aims are:
- To find sustainable solutions to helping people who are struggling with low incomes or debt to access good food that they can afford.
- To champion systemic change to build food security, creating local, equitable and sustainable healthy food provision.
- To reduce food waste.
- To facilitate equitable access to emergency food provision.
- To build community resilience and promote social inclusion, cohesion, and connection through food.
- To help tackle the root causes of food poverty.
As a trustee you will receive:
- The opportunity to help drive systemic change to benefit individuals and communities in Gloucestershire.
- Training and development, learning new skills to help you in your trustee role and beyond.
- Expenses relating to your trustee role.
In return we ask that you:
- Attend meetings – our board of trustees meets bi-monthly (meetings are usually held on Wednesdays between 1pm and 3pm in Stroud or online).
- Consent to share your information with the Charity Commission, key staff, and fellow trustees.
- Undertake mandatory training and be willing to take on additional roles and responsibilities where necessary.
- Adhere to our Trustee Code of Conduct.
Please note – there are certain automatic exclusions to being a trustee unless authorised by the Charity Commission.
