Financial Inclusion Data Support Volunteer

The Financial Inclusion team at Trussell supports food banks around the UK to deliver advice and support services in their communities. The service offers advice and support on money matters to people who use food banks and helps people unlock money and services they should be getting. In many cases, this enables them to no longer need emergency food. Each quarter, a growing number of food banks provide reports on their financial inclusion projects to Trussell, which we can use to measure the impact of the programme locally, and across the UK. As a volunteer in the Financial Inclusion Team, you would support the entry of the data from these reports into our database, enabling us to analyse it and use it for evidencing our impact, supporting fundraising, and reporting to our funders.
