Meet your Foodbank Trustees & Staff

Meet the People Behind Forest Foodbank 🌿

At the heart of the Forest Foodbank is a dedicated team of people who make everything possible.

Our Board of Trustees provide guidance, oversight, and vision — helping us grow and ensuring we serve our community with compassion and integrity.

Alongside them, our staff members who keep the day-to-day running smoothly, supporting those in need and coordinating our efforts across the Forest of Dean.

And, of course, we couldn’t do any of this without our incredible volunteers. From welcoming clients with a smile, to sorting donations and packing food parcels, their kindness and commitment are the heartbeat of our Foodbank.

Together — trustees, staff, and volunteers — we are united by one goal: to support local people facing crisis, with dignity, respect, and hope.
