Hammersmith and Fulham Foodbank is at an exciting stage of development and we are looking for three Trustees to join our committed Board of Trustees.

Trustees are responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity, working with the Chief Executive to develop our aims, objectives and goals in accordance with our governing document, legal and regulatory guidelines.

- ** Marketing and social media**, to help develop our strategy in Hammersmith and Fulham and to liaise with our in-house resource to develop and disseminate high-level messaging.

You will have a strong personal commitment to the Foodbank's vision and values. Whether you are an experienced Trustee or taking your first step as a Trustee, we would love to hear from you. You will have the opportunity to use your skills, passion and commitment to help shape the future of our charity and to improve the lives of people in our local community.
