Role

Whitburn and District Community Development Trust (WCDT) is a community-led organisation at the heart of Whitburn, working to support local people and groups to thrive. Our mission is to create a more connected, confident, and resilient community by delivering local initiatives, encouraging volunteering, and fostering collaboration.

The Community Food Coordinator will coordinate the day-to-day running and development of the Community Fridge and Larder, ensuring it operates safely, efficiently, and inclusively. The role involves coordinating and increasing surplus food collections, managing the Brunch Club at Home project, supporting volunteers, welcoming community members, and helping reduce food waste while supporting those in need.

This post is a key part of Whitburn CDT’s wider Community Food Sustainability work — helping to redistribute surplus food, supporting community meals, and building partnerships that promote dignified food access, reduce waste, and improve local wellbeing.
