Hiya,
I have 10 trays (24 tins each) of Heinz Mushroom Soup which expire May 2022 if anyone would like some?
Also there are a few trays (12 tins each) of mushy peas left which expire June 2022 – (some have a little rust on the tins but I’ve sorted through them to check they are ok).
Let me know if you would like some to arrange collection.
Thanks, Lisa.

Tees Community Food Hub Manager – Warehouse Manager
Based in Middlesbrough
£26,000 per year
Permanent, Full-time
Leading our brand new Tees Community Food Hub, this role will help to deliver an exciting new chapter in FareShare North East’s (FSNE) journey as we branch out into Teesside. This role would suit an experienced warehouse manager looking to progress into general management, and offers the chance to help develop a growing regional charity as it reaches even more people in the community.
No two days are the same at FSNE – working with a small team of staff & volunteers based in Teesside you will be responsible for deliveries of food coming in, stock control in the warehouse, deliveries of food going out, along with the general health, safety, and wellbeing of everyone involved in the operation.
The role will be hands on, with the successful candidate being expected to jump on a forklift or take delivery vans out as required – a full UK driver’s licence is a must, and a forklift licence would be an advantage. We use lots of different systems & tools to get the job done, so strong IT skills are essential – experience with Warehouse Management Software (WMS) and data visualisation tools like PowerBI would be an advantage.
Communication is a key part of this role, and the successful candidate will be expected to regularly engage with key stakeholders, including funders, the local council, Members of Parliament, and the media. We’re proud to be expanding into Teesside and want to invite visitors into the new warehouse on a regular basis.
