First time trustees are very welcome to apply! Full training given
Help us deliver our Vision of a Midlands Region where no one goes hungry and where children don’t go to school on an empty stomach
Last year, our food helped over 500 frontline charities and community groups across the Midlands to provide 13 million meals.
FareShare Midlands (FSM) is the region’s largest food redistribution charity. We take good-to-eat surplus food from the food industry and get it to our Members - frontline charities and community groups all over the Midlands. We turn an environmental problem into a social solution.
Last year we redistributed almost 5,794 tonnes of food from our warehouses in Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham. It is sorted and stored by our dedicated teams of staff and volunteers, and then redistributed to around 800 Members including food pantries and cafes, homeless shelters and drop-in centres.
These local organisations turn the food into food parcels, affordable shopping and delicious meals for people of all ages. As well as food, our Members provide vital support to families and the elderly, many of whom are facing challenging circumstances and living in poverty.
Last year our food reached more than 83,000 vulnerable people every week, providing 13 million meals. At the same time, we are growing our Employability Programmes to help people gain work experience, skills and jobs.
Our Purpose at FareShare Midlands is to Fight Hunger, Tackle Food Waste and to Create Opportunities.
The Role
Our Trustees set the strategic direction for the organisation, ensuring alignment to our values and are responsible for setting organisational strategy, policy, defining goals, agreeing the financial plan and evaluating performance.
We are looking for you to bring your life experience, insight, expertise and skills together with the enthusiasm and commitment to helping to reduce food insecurity and unnecessary food waste. You will have a passion for the work we do, have an understanding of poverty and inequality and a commitment to our values around a fairer and more equal society.
We welcome applicants who have little or no Trustee experience but a strong desire to be part of a force for good and helping to create lasting change. An inquisitive mind and confidence to interrogate information provided to you by the Leadership Team.
It is imperative for us to have a board which reflects a range of backgrounds and identities and, most importantly, represents the people we exist to support, as we believe that such increased diversity will improve our creativity and decision making.
We welcome applications from anyone enthusiastic and interested about the work we do and a desire to help us create lasting change through the work that we do. We are particularly keen to talk to people with experience in; Finance, Fundraising; Food Industry; Employability; Marketing, PR or Communications; Business Development and IT; Transport/logistics and Warehousing and distribution.
You will work with our existing board of trustees and our Chief Executive who are ably supported by a Senior Management team as well as our staff and volunteers who all share a passion to make a difference for those who need the food we distribute.
The Commitment
The trustee board meets quarterly (January, April, July and October). Meetings are usually on a Saturday morning and last for 2-3 hours, often remotely. Plus one strategy day/board development day per year. Generally, board members have the opportunity to be part of or chair a committee too.

Could you be Rosa’s new Chair? Rosa is the UK’s only grant making fund dedicated to supporting women’s and girls’ organisations helping to create a society in which women and girls are safe, healthy and equal at work, at home and in public life. Over the last six years, our organisation has gone from strength to strength: growing our staff team and Board to fulfil our vision of a society in which women and girls are safe, healthy and have equal opportunities at work, at home and in public life.
We are looking for a Chair who shares our ambition to ensure adequate and consistent funding for organisations that support women and girls. Our Board is comprised of twelve dedicated and skilled Trustees with a range expertise and backgrounds and we are now seeking a new passionate and committed Chair.
Founded in 2008, our work focuses on the key issues affecting women’s and girls’ lives including violence and sexual abuse, reproductive rights and health, poverty and economic inequality and mental health and recognises the connections between them. We have channelled funding to small charities and organisations working in the most deprived areas of the UK and responded to the specific challenges faced by Black and minoritised led women’s and girls’ organisations.
This is an exciting time to join the organisation. We are currently working on our new strategy which will begin in 2025. This strategy aims to meet the evolving needs of the UK women’s and girls’ sector, leveraging our influence for its benefit and attracting diverse funders to invest in the sector.
We are proud of our strong partnerships with funders and investors and with women’s and girls’ organisations. We have a dynamic Chief Executive who leads a small, professional team to develop and deliver targeted programmes to meet the needs of the women and girls’ sector across these issues and across the UK.
We are particularly keen on hearing from those with experience as a Chair or Committee Chair, possessing strong leadership skills, and the ability to build trust, drive governance, and guide strategic planning and stakeholder engagement optimally in a charitable, non-profit organisation, public body, or equivalent organisation.
Rosa takes its commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion extremely seriously, recognising the value that this adds to our success. Rosa reaps the benefits of having a diverse board and welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds and life experiences. We are therefore particularly keen to hear from people from across the UK, people with a variety of educational backgrounds and experiences, people from Black and Asian communities and other racially minoritised ethnic groups, and disabled people.
It is estimated that the role will require the equivalent of approximately forty days per annum, (averaged out over the course of the year). Our board meetings (three online and one in person) are held quarterly in the early evenings. The Chair is also invited to join Board Committees.
The role is unremunerated, but we will reimburse all reasonable expenses.
