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.
Our Vision: No good food goes to waste
Our Mission: Maximize the social and environmental impact of surplus food
Our Purpose: We are doers. We are a community. We change lives.
Our Values:
Passion – for our cause and the challenge that lies ahead
Ambition – to go the extra mile and drive the change that must happen
Respect – for ourselves, each other, our volunteers, our partners and our beneficiaries
Collaboration – it’s only by working with others that we can be stronger
Focus – on providing the best service possible so that we deliver and achieve the most for our clients/customers.
The role
Our key priority at FareShare UK is to increase the amount of surplus food redistributed to the charities and community groups we support across the UK. Food partners (manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, importers, packers, catering providers, producers and others) are essential in helping us to achieve this, providing access to food and many other strategic resources. This crucial role will focus on working with our top food partners to maximise the mutual value in the relationship through strategic and structured account management. Our ability to meet growing demand and increase the amount of surplus food redistributed will be heavily influenced by the success you have in this role.
You will be the account lead for some of the biggest food businesses in the UK and will lead the Food Partnership Team focused on deepening and developing our most established food partnerships, maintaining food and funding from key accounts.
The role will see you lead your team to deliver a tiered and structured strategic account management approach of all top partners, coordinating colleagues across departments, including the Food Team, FareShare Go, Marketing, Fundraising, Network Operations and Volunteering teams. Working closely with the top food partners and internal stakeholders will ensure appropriate identification of activities, and monitoring of progress, benefits and evaluation.
You will help identify and overcome the barriers to food redistribution and increase the volumes of foods available to FareShare from food partners and their wider supply chains. You will innovate and problem-solve to provide the best outcomes for our most important food partners.

Advocacy is a powerful force for change. It allows individuals to have their voices heard and respected when decisions are being made about their health and social care. It raises awareness of people’s rights and entitlements and empowers people to advocate for themselves or speak up for them when they can’t.
The Advocacy People are an independent, Human Rights based charity and one of the UK’s largest providers of advocacy, advocacy-related and Healthwatch services who make sure people are heard when it matters most.
You can find out more about advocacy and what we do on our website.
Being an advocate makes a difference, so if you’re hoping for a rewarding, varied, interesting role as part of a friendly, supportive team, read on!
About the role
Advocates support people to express their views, understand their rights and make informed decisions. Much of their work is with some of the most vulnerable in our society who cannot speak up for themselves and have no family members or friends who can do so. Most of what we do operates within the legislative frameworks of the Mental Capacity Act, Care Act, Mental Health Act and NHS Health Complaints process.
We are looking to recruit a permanent multi-skilled advocate to join our Berkshire team, working a minimum of 21 hours per week, up to 37 hours considered, starting salary £23,314 per annum, pro rata.
The post is multi-disciplinary and will cover all forms of advocacy.
What we need from you
Putting people at the heart of what you do, you will work with people from across our communities. How you work will depend on each individual so the ability to communicate in a variety of ways, verbally and non-verbally, with clients and professionals, is key to success.
You may or may not have direct experience of this in your own life, or in another role, or have relevant qualifications but this isn’t a problem as we can offer training. We’re looking for people who are creative, flexible and organised, able to balance direct work with people with important administrative tasks.
As this role is home based with regular travel, mainly but not exclusively in the Berkshire area, you must be based in Berkshire or surrounding counties, you must have access to both a stable home broadband service, good mobile signal, a clean driving licence and your own transport as well as flexibility with working hours.
What happens next
If you’d like to know more, the full job description and information about how to apply can be found on our website in Job Vacancies, on the advert page.
Anyone joining our team is subject to The Advocacy People’s Safer Recruitment pre-appointment checks. Applicants invited to interview will need to bring evidence (photographic where possible) of their right to work in the UK and new employee start dates will only be confirmed once other mandatory checks, including the appropriate DBS clearance and 2 satisfactory references, one of which will need to be from your most recent or current employer, have been received.
We look forward to hearing from you!
If you would like to discuss the role further, please contact Ann Standen, Team Manager.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
We have a rare opportunity to join our team in a key strategic and operational role as Programme Manager. Working as part of a Collaborative, Responsive, Enterprising, Playful and Reflective team (Our Values!), you will lead and develop our projects and programmes with young people and adults for the South London communities we serve.
We believe that music and media, delivered in a socially and culturally relevant way, have the power to positively change and shape people’s lives. Our purpose-built 3-story base in Brixton houses recording studios, a band rehearsal space, a production suite with top industry standard tech and software. Our work takes place mainly onsite with some community-based work in hospitals or at events.
This opportunity comes at a really exciting time for Raw Material. We are soon returning to our own building which by the end of 2024 will be refurbished via a £1.1m capital fundraising campaign to improve our operational capabilities and develop income generation opportunities and new facilities for the community, with a coworking offer and an increased hires and events programme.
