Trustees
Our trustees bring a wealth of experience and oversight, guiding the Foodbank’s governance, safeguarding, and long-term planning. They ensure we remain accountable, transparent, and focused on our mission to tackle hunger and its root causes.
We shouldn’t be necessary. But we are. We must do what we can to ensure that in the future we are not.
I chose to become a trustee for Colchester Foodbank, not because I know better than anyone else, but because I believe in the value of the work the Foodbank does in the community.
After too many years commuting to work in London, I wanted to get more involved in my local community.
As I step into this new role as a trustee, I am excited to bring my experience and passion for community service to the forefront.
Hopefully my experience as a small business owner, mum and lifelong resident of Colchester can help me to make a difference and add value to the Foodbank.
If I can help the Foodbank continue on its successful path, then I will be proud to do so.
I believe my role as Trustee is to continue the good work of Colchester Foodbank, provide stability for our clients and volunteers, promote fundraising and maintain oversight and governance.
