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.

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.

Working with our Head of Campaigns, colleagues and volunteers, you’ll research and analyse key environmental issues such as biodiversity, More Natural Capital, Parks for Sale and the protection of parks and green spaces, contribute to policy and advocacy work that supports London’s journey towards becoming a zero-carbon city, support campaigns and communications that engage the public, local authorities, and decision-makers on vital planning and countryside matters.

Volunteering with us is a fantastic way to champion environmental issues, from tackling the climate crisis to promoting sustainable development. We welcome those able to offer a regular commitment to those who can volunteer time on more of a project basis. We are looking to have these volunteers join our team from 1st December, 2025.

Our friendly and experienced team will provide training and guidance to help you develop in your role. You’ll gain valuable experience and skills in, campaign strategy and policy development, research and stakeholder engagement, and collaborative teamwork.
