We are seeking a consultant to complete a research project looking to answer questions around referral pathways. This work will support our overall vision to end the need for emergency food provision by giving us a strong understanding of people’s journey to the food bank and informing next steps to take in our local community to support people experiencing crisis.

We are looking for a skilled researcher with a strong understanding of the complex issues surrounding food insecurity, financial crisis and destitution who can complete this work before August 2023.

Levenmouth Foodbank Community Support Project was set up in 2013 by Local Churches in response to local need as part of the Trussell Trust national franchise network of foodbanks. A Christian ethos is central to the work of the project. Current operations include:

• Foodbank
• Café
• Schools Work

We are looking to appoint new Trustees who have good business experience with a particular interest in HR/Managing people and Funding. Prospective applicants are expected to be aware of Charity Trustee legal duties and responsibilities. Training is available to develop personal skills.

Meetings are held bi-monthly and situations arise in which Trustees may be called upon to perform additional tasks.

It is expected that candidates have excellent communication, interpersonal and writing skills with good teamwork and problem-solving abilities.

Board membership is not a remunerated position, however, expenses necessarily incurred in performing Board duties will be reimbursed.
