At CPRE Bedfordshire we are passionate about promoting the importance and benefits of the countryside and our green spaces. We’re looking for a content writer volunteer who shares our passion for environmental issues and would love to get involved in bringing what we do to a wider audience, through new written content. Our volunteer will play an essential role in spreading the word about our work by highlighting the vital environmental and campaigning work we do and raising the profile of CPRE in a positive way. We aim to keep our informative local group website fresh with news items on our activities, as well as features on interesting places and the history of the countryside in Bedfordshire. Our friendly team will provide you with training and support to develop in your role as you use your skills and experience in copywriting and use of social media to enhance the diverse work of CPRE in Bedfordshire. This is a home‑based role with some attendance at meetings, including online meetings and events. We provide out‑of‑pocket travel expenses should this be required.
