Chairperson - Leeds North & West Foodbank (Leeds)

“The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline”

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

As Chair you will ensure that you comply with your charity’s governing documents, charity law requirements and other laws that may apply to your charity. You must act in your charity’s best interest, including doing what you and your co-trustees decide will best enable the charity to carry out its purpose, as well as making balanced informed decisions.
