Volunteer Roles

We’re looking for a new Chair – could it be you?

We’re passionate about making the countryside in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough a better place for everyone to enjoy. Our vibrant team of volunteers inspires people to care for the countryside and enjoy the benefits it brings wherever they live.

Volunteering with us is a fantastic way to help us champion environmental issues such as planning and development, renewable energy, sustainable transport, and the climate emergency. With your support, we can do even more. As Chair, you’ll play a key role in developing our charity. You can hear direct from a CPRE Trustee here about what they enjoy about the role.

Ideally you’ll be able to commit to 2 years or more in role.

Our friendly team will provide you with training and support to develop in your role and you’ll gain valuable skills and experience in charity governance and leadership.
