About East Lothian Foodbank (ELFB)

East Lothian Foodbank provides food and other essential items to local people to give immediate help in an emergency situation to those who are experiencing poverty in East Lothian.

In addition to emergency food, we also offer a money advice service to our service users to help them maximise income and benefit entitlement.

An independent Scottish charity, we are fortunate to also be part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by Trussell, working towards combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

East Lothian Foodbank is looking for a Local Organiser, someone who can research the key drivers of poverty in this area and work with the public and politicians to influence policy, working towards ending the need for foodbanks.

The Local Organiser is responsible for building and leading a volunteer team to develop and deliver local influencing strategies for and with the foodbank, organising in your community to campaign for change. You will be the link between East Lothian Foodbank and the Organising and Local Mobilisation team at Trussell, as we build a movement to end the need for food banks.

This post is funded by Trussell.
