Our aim is to significantly increase the numbers we support over the next few years.

The ideal candidate will have some experience in successful Trusts & Grants income generation, including report writing and demonstrating the impact of funding. They will need excellent written skills, communication skills and good attention to detail.
Our intention is for this role to be covered for three days a week, but the successful candidate will have the opportunity to negotiate their preferred working pattern.

About FareShare
FareShare is the UK's biggest food charity, strengthening communities reaching nearly 1 million people through over 8,000 charities with over 134 million meals.
The food we provide would cost charities and people over £184 million if they had to buy it at retail value. This saves charities an average of £154 per week, which they use to build their capacity through things like paying for overheads, training staff, and investing in new equipment and resources.
We save the UK over £225 million through 34 sites, 18 delivery partners, over 26000 volunteers and over 1000 employability programme participants. Our work reaches 99.8% of UK constituencies, strengthening those communities through outcomes like providing healthier diets, reducing isolation, and helping children do better in school.
However, there are still over 10 billion meals worth of food being wasted in the UK's supply chain every year and tens of thousands across the country we could support to do more.
