Volunteers are at the heart of CPRE Gloucestershire. We rely not just on the strength we have in the number of members when making our views known, but also on the skills and knowledge of our members drawn from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds.

So, do you have the time, skills, experience and knowledge to help us? You don’t necessarily need to be knowledgeable about planning matters, as there is a range of activities on which we need help. For example:

• joining one of our District committees: bring your past experience and skills of chairing or minute taking or acting as treasurer to your local CPRE District committee
• being our local ambassador (our eyes and ears in your parish): if you are interested in what is happening in your parish, why not help us and take a look at local planning applications on the ground affecting your village and let us know your views
• organising events and activities for fellow members: could you help pull together a series of interesting talks, visits or social evenings and fund raising events?
• producing a District newsletter: perhaps you have computer skills and experience in preparing lively and well-illustrated newsletters

Please contact the Chairman of the CPRE District in the area in which you live for local opportunities to help or our County Director Louise Williams in the CPRE Gloucestershire Office regarding volunteering opportunities at a County level.
