Edinburgh Food Project was set up in 2012 to facilitate the opening of foodbanks to alleviate the effects of food poverty in Edinburgh. Our 8 foodbanks, part of the Trussell Trust network, covering North West & Central Edinburgh fed almost 7,000 men, women and children last year with nutritionally balanced food packs covering three meals for at least three days.
Edinburgh Food Project is much more than just a foodbank - there is a lot more to us than pasta and beans. We provide immediate relief from hunger and worry for people who simply do not have enough money to live on, through our foodbanks across the city. We also offer a Money Advice Service to support people who need help with benefits, budgeting, and debt advice, and work with partners to achieve long term change.
Following a period of rapid growth, we are entering a new phase with a new Chief Executive and are seeking an experienced Fundraising and Communications Lead to help us achieve our vision of an Edinburgh without poverty, where everyone has what they need to thrive.
If you have a strong strategic mind, a track record of achieving against ambitious fundraising targets, and experience of leading a successful team, then we would love to hear from you.
Together we can help more people move away from immediate need and out of poverty, for good.
