Could you be a CPRE Cheshire Trustee?

We’re looking for people with organisational management experience to join our Board as Trustees. Help shape CPRE Cheshire’s direction, and be part of a movement working to protect the countryside you love.

The Trustee role

By becoming a Trustee, you’ll be helping deliver positive solutions for the issues facing the countryside and the environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Helping develop and implement our strategy and deliver our mission to protect Cheshire’s countryside.
• Supporting the effective and efficient running of our charity.
• Ensuring compliance with governance regulations.

You’ll also be expected to attend the majority of Board meetings. These are held 6 times a year (usually), sometimes face-to-face in Middlewich and sometimes online.

What we’re looking for

Our priorities for new Trustees include:

• A passion for environmental and countryside issues.
• A commitment to CPRE policies, campaigns and initiatives.
• A commitment to active involvement including regular attendance at meetings.
• Experience in organisational management and working in a strategic way.
• Independent judgement and a creative approach to problem solving.
• An understanding of the legal duties and responsibilities of a trustee, or a willingness to learn.
• Good written and verbal communication skills.

Only CPRE members can be trustees – but if you’re not yet a member, you can still apply.

Why be a Trustee?

Joining our Board gives you the chance to:

• Use your skills and experience to contribute to the success of our charity and make a positive impact on the countryside.
• Contribute ideas for projects and take a lead on delivery to see them through.
• Meet like-minded people and be part of a friendly team.
• Be part of an organisation making an impact at both local and national level.
