Could you be the new Chair of CPRE Buckinghamshire (one of the branches of CPRE – the Countryside Charity)? Do you care about your local community and environment?
We have a long and successful history of campaigning on items that matter to the local area – canvassing, prompting and lobbying local authorities, Councillors and MPs. In doing so, we have been able to ensure that the views of the people who depend on, work on and cherish the Buckinghamshire countryside are reflected in local decision-making.
The Chair role will suit someone living in Buckinghamshire or the Milton Keynes area, who has a keen interest in the countryside and is excited by the prospect of helping to direct the future of CPRE Buckinghamshire over the next 5–7 years. It is an exciting time to join our team, as CPRE nationally is celebrating 100 years in 2026; you can be involved in making plans as to how we will celebrate this with the Buckinghamshire community through various events and activities.
You will help to:
- direct our important campaigns, engaging the local community and raising awareness of the issues that the countryside faces
- lead our Trustee board, and recruit new Trustee members
- increase our membership, so that we can continue to do the work we are doing
- expand our team of volunteers, so that we can widen and increase the work that we do
- liaise with stakeholders and partners, and forge new partnerships
- ensure that we as a charity meet our legal requirements, adhering to our governing document, and have the necessary policies and resources
- nurture and shape the future of CPRE Bucks.
We estimate that the time commitment will be around 1 day a week, although this is variable and dependent on activities. You can of course do more if you wish! Our team works and meets remotely most of the time, but occasional travel may be necessary – to attend CPRE Head Office in London, for example.
This is a volunteer role in which you can really make a difference. We welcome applicants of any age, gender and background.
CPRE Buckinghamshire is an environmental charity dedicated to protecting the countryside.

Too many people in our country experience poor health and are dying too young because of who they are, where they were born, and where they live. We believe in longer lives, better lived.
We partner with expert local organisations working on the front line of addressing health inequalities, corporate sector, universities, and policy-makers, to understand the effectiveness of different approaches to improving people's quality of life and health. By using the connections, evidence and expertise we have developed, we influence government on how to shape policy that tackles the real causes of poor health.
We are seeking a qualified accountant with charity financial management experience to join our Finance, Audit and Operations Committee as an independent member. You will provide scrutiny to the committee, ensuring the Trust is in sound financial shape and that there is a strong framework for accountability. You will use your expertise to advise on financial planning and reporting and risk management.
We particularly encourage applications from people from racially minoritised communities, disabled people, and people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
