Celebrating Trustees Week – 4th to 8th November 2024

Trustees’ Week 2024 is a momentous occasion for all charities, and at CPRE Norfolk, we’re celebrating the dedication, passion, and hard work of our trustees who help steer our mission of protecting Norfolk’s countryside.

As a charity, we rely on the expertise and commitment of our Executive committee of Trustees to ensure that we can continue advocating for sustainable development, protecting natural landscapes, and engaging our community to preserve the beauty and biodiversity of Norfolk.

Trustees’ Week is not only a time to thank those who already serve but also a great opportunity to highlight the vital role trustees play in shaping the future of organisations like CPRE Norfolk.

It’s a reminder that behind every local project or national campaign, there’s a team of dedicated volunteers working to ensure that we make a lasting difference.

Why Trustees matter at CPRE Norfolk

At CPRE Norfolk, Trustees are the backbone of our organisation. From guiding strategy to making key decisions on conservation projects, their leadership ensures that we remain aligned with our goals of protecting and enhancing Norfolk’s landscapes.

As we look towards 2025, Trustees will play an even more crucial role as we work on expanding our community engagement, increasing membership, and launching new initiatives.

Being a trustee at CPRE Norfolk is about more than attending meetings – it’s about being an advocate for the natural world, ensuring that the decisions we make today will protect Norfolk’s countryside for generations to come.

My perspective – why Trustees’ Week resonates

From my perspective as a Trustee, Trustees’ Week is a chance to reflect on the impact we make and the journey we’ve been on together.

Since joining the Executive committee, I’ve seen first-hand how passionate everyone is about safeguarding Norfolk’s unique countryside. It’s also a time to acknowledge the work that goes into ensuring good governance, transparency, and future-proofing our charity so we can continue making a difference.

For those considering becoming a Trustee, this week serves as an ideal moment to get involved. Whether you’re interested in governance, conservation, or community engagement, being a Trustee at CPRE Norfolk offers a fulfilling opportunity to contribute to a cause that genuinely makes a difference.
