Could you be the next member of our Board?
Shrewsbury Food Hub is a small charity from a small town making a big impact.
Since April 2016, we have collected good surplus food from supermarkets, manufacturers and farms and shared it with local charities and community groups saving them money so they can do more.
We are a trusted voice in the local community with an excellent track record, and we are looking for new Trustees to govern the charity as we seek to grow over the coming years.
After a strategic re-fresh in 2021, we are looking to appoint three new Trustees to our Board. The Board currently comprises seven Trustees who are responsible for the governance of our charity and who play an influential role in shaping our strategic direction and monitoring our performance.
Andrew Howe, Chair of Trustees, said: “It is a great privilege to be Chair of Trustees at the Food Hub. Our trustees are volunteers who generously give their time and expertise. We are looking for new Trustees to strengthen the board. We are keen to hear from people from a range of backgrounds but would particularly welcome applications from people with company secretary, legal, HR or senior administrator background, experience working with volunteers, or relevant food industry experience.
“If you want to be part of a great team that is making a difference, we would love to hear from you.”
Being a Trustee is a voluntary role but training, support and any out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed.
