Trustee

Feedback is recruiting two new Trustees.

While millions still suffer from malnutrition or go hungry, a whopping one third of all edible food – enough to feed three billion people – is wasted each year. Cutting waste out of the global food system is the most achievable way to immediately reduce the environmental impact of food production – and this is what we’ve been working on since Feedback was founded eight years ago.

We have propelled the food waste scandal out of the shadows and into the spotlight. We have worked with governments, NGOs, suppliers, retailers, media and the public to catalyse action on eliminating food waste globally. We are distinct amongst our fellow environmental non-profit peers in engaging in the full suite of activities required for positive social change: movement building, campaigns, and incubation of new models.

In 2018 Feedback has reached an exciting time in its development. With a new Executive Director and a new Strategic Framework and Three-Year Plan to 2020, we are poised to expand our work and impact over the next years.

We are looking to strengthen our Board by the addition of at least two new trustees. In particular, we are looking for a trustee with experience of fundraising, especially from institutional sources, as well as someone with food sector experience and insight. If that is you, then great. If not so much, but you think your profile means you have something else to offer by being on our Board, we would also like to hear from you.

We are looking for people who can bring passion, experience, knowledge and insight as we set out anew on addressing  the challenges our food system creates for the natural world we rely on: to help us bring practical and engaging solutions to move the food system from its current unsustainability so that existing food fit for human consumption first and foremost reaches human mouths;  so that food waste is repurposed as animal and fish feed; so that diets are shifted to be less environmentally destructive; and so more food waste is prevented from occurring by tackling overproduction and over purchase and over consumption to reduce the size of the our present out of control food system.  

If you would like an informal discussion about any aspect of the role and / or the organisation, please don’t hesitate to get in touch through the Feedback office and either our Senior Trustee, Stewart Crocker, or our Executive Director, Carina Millstone, will be pleased to speak with you.

We welcome expressions of interest - including a brief statement about why you’d like to be considered and how you meet the requirements of being a trustee. Please send this with your CV to our Operations Director: Bryan Allen

If you would like to know more about any aspect of the role, depending upon the nature of your enquiry, please contact us to request a phone call with the Senior Trustee, Stewart Crocker.
