FRP is looking for new Trustees

Forest Recycling Project (FRP) is a not-for-profit, social enterprise with environmental and social aims. We engage with organisations and communities in London through a range of practical initiatives to reduce, re-use and recycle waste. Any financial surpluses are re-invested for that purpose, in the business or in the community. Based in Walthamstow in East London, we have been in operation since 1989. Our legal structure is a charity and limited company by guarantee. FRP has a staff team of 7 people.

‘Being a Trustee of FRP is an incredibly rewarding role: important projects helping to improve the environment, fantastic volunteers and a great staff team. It is definitely time well spent and has improved my skills and experience too.’ Matthew Mckeague, FRP Trustee.

We are looking for one to two new volunteer members to join our Board of Trustees; Trustees have responsibility for the management, control and strategic direction of FRP.

Our present need is for people with skills and experience in the areas of marketing, commercial business and fundraising - but we will also welcome applications from people who are passionate about FRP’s mission and can offer other useful professional skills.
