Welcome to Reach Volunteering. We are a community and registered charity that connects people, skills and good causes.

To apply for this role, and any other on our platform, you need to be based in the UK, have at least three years of experience using the skills you wish to volunteer in a professional capacity or have lived experience (for trustee roles). Read more about our criteria.

Do you have expertise in Health & Safety—and ideally food safety too—and want to use your skills to help tackle food waste and food insecurity? 

What will you be doing?

Resurrected Bites is a dynamic, fast-growing charity that stops good food from going to waste and uses it to feed people in food poverty through community groceries in Harrogate & Knaresborough. We’re on a mission to fill bellies & not bins, and we need a sharp, strategic, and experienced trustee to help us do it safely and effectively.

What You’ll Do:

  • Ensure we continue to meet Health & Safety and food safety regulations across all our operations. We are supported by SafetyNest.
  • Provide expert guidance to keep our teams, volunteers, and customers safe.
  • Help shape our strategy as we grow and reach more people.
  • Work alongside a passionate board and leadership team who are making real change happen.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience in Health & Safety—preferably with a food safety background.
  • A hands-on approach—willing to advise, support, and challenge when needed.
  • A commitment to our mission and a passion for sustainability and social impact.
  • Experience in risk assessment, compliance, or policy development is a bonus.

This is a voluntary role but one with huge purpose and influence. You’ll be part of a forward-thinking charity that’s creating lasting change in North Yorkshire. The Trustee meetings are currently 2h every 2 months. There will be involvement in reviewing our Health & Safety processes on an ongoing basis (with the support of SafetyNest) and we can agree on how much time you can offer.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a Health & Safety trustee with a variety of skills, including communication, risk assessment, and a strong knowledge of Health & Safety regulations and ideally Food Safety too.

What difference will you make?

We take Health & Safety and Food Safety extremely seriously and we would value having someone with this expertise on our board to help us grow the charity safely.
