Here at Knottingley Foodbank we provide emergency food and compassionate, practical support to people in crisis. Since 2013 we have operated in the Knottingley area from Ropewalk Methodist Church, providing 1,714 three-day emergency food supplies given to people in crisis last year. Our foodbank was born out of community groups working together towards stopping hunger in our local area.

Trustees play a vital role by ensuring that we are meeting the demand for our services, providing help and support to people in crisis in the local community, as well as providing strategic direction for the charity.

Knottingley Foodbank are seeking to recruit Trustees with an interest in helping others, who are willing to uphold the food bank’s values, and who can bring life experience to the board of trustees. The food bank would particularly welcome applications from those with experience in one (or more) of the following areas:

• Administration/Secretarial skills • Finance • Governance • Human Resources

2 hours commitment per week, meetings quarterly (remote & in-person). A flexible, approachable attitude and willingness to support our clients, volunteers and project manager is essential.
