Trustee
FEAST With Us
Join our passionate and diverse Board of Trustees to guide and support FEAST in our mission!
As FEAST continues to grow to respond to the increasing need, we are expanding our Board to promote our future success in addressing our charitable objectives. We are looking to recruit two to three new Trustees and invite applications from people who can bring valuable skills and diverse experiences that would help us increase our charitable impact. Trustees are collectively responsible for the Charity pursuing its aims well, in good faith, and using its resources appropriately. You will be helping a small charity make a big difference to the lives of people in real need.

We are looking for people who believe in the mission and values of FEAST. We’re particularly interested in hearing from applicants with the following skills and experience: • Philanthropy / high net worth donor / corporate fundraising • Multi-site catering / hospitality • Organisational growth / scaling • HR • Board secretary experience If you don’t have any experience in any of these areas but feel you would have something valuable to bring to FEAST then we would still like to hear from you. We welcome and encourage applications from people from backgrounds and lived experience that represent the people we support, and those with an understanding of the neighbourhoods and communities we work with and support, i.e. through living or working there. We work predominantly in the London Borough of Camden and its surrounding boroughs, and over 40% of our service users come from a BAME background with lived experience including homelessness, mental health challenges and long-term health conditions.
• You will be helping a small charity make a big difference to the lives of people in real need. • Develop valuable skills, knowledge, experience and networks within the voluntary sector. • Work alongside a committed and varied team of trustees, all striving to grow FEAST’s charitable impact. • Feel good by using your skills and experience to give back. • Regular training to all staff and trustees, including personal skills development.
The Trustee roles are voluntary and we ask that you’re able to commit to providing at least 1-2 days per month to attend board meetings, joint Trustee and team meetings and events, mentor the operational staff team and act as a proactive ambassador for FEAST. Currently, we hold six Board meetings a year lasting 2 hours. These are mostly online but we do try to make at least one Board meeting a year face to face in central London. In addition, we also have an annual awayday with the operations staff team, in London or surrounding area. Trustees are able to claim reasonable expenses for in person meetings and events. Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term, with the option to serve a further two terms, up to a total of nine years.
