Job description

Cyfoeth Y Coed (“The Riches of the Trees” in Welsh) is a small Community Interest Company based in Swansea.

We harvest unwanted produce, mainly apples, which we distribute to food banks and other food sharing groups throughout Swansea county. We have a wonderful group of committed volunteers who come back year after year to pick apples and prune trees. Since 2021 we’ve picked almost seven tonnes of fruit. This year, for the first time, we're harvesting a large orchard in Gower, with many Welsh heritage varieties, giving us an exciting new opportunity to dramatically increase our impact.

We incorporated as a community interest company early last year and are now looking to appoint additional directors in this volunteer position. We are keen to increase our diversity and representation of the community: Welsh speakers and applicants from under-represented and minority groups are especially encouraged to apply. Small business experience and/or prior board experience  is a plus but not necessary.

Get in on the ground and use your initiative, creativity and drive to shape our future and realise the enormous potential of Swansea’s hidden harvest!
