With more pressures facing our land than ever before, we urgently need more support to scale up our work to protect and renew the countryside, now and for future generations.
Refined over a century of action, our unique, evidence-led, positive, and holistic approach shows that the countryside is a key asset in meeting the demands of our modern world – from climate change to renewable energy. Yet much of it lies vulnerable and unprotected to those who would seize the land for short term gains. With your support, we can urgently demonstrate the countryside’s intrinsic value to decision-makers and galvanise more people to stand up for its protection.
Your support will help us deliver campaigns and messaging to the highest-level decision-makers that the countryside is valued by the nation, and its loss should be stopped.
Together, we can go further
Join a community of philanthropists committed to protecting the countryside and shaping a more sustainable future. Your generosity can help us to influence key decision-makers and deliver the solutions we need for a resilient and thriving countryside. The funding we receive enables us to carry out valuable work which benefits our treasured environment, wildlife and rural communities across the country.
Gifts which make a real difference
- For every £3,000, we could help local communities speak up for the countryside they care about. Your support could strengthen CPRE’s network of local campaigners and volunteers across the country, equipping them with the guidance, resources and expertise needed to respond to planning proposals, champion green spaces and influence decisions that shape their local area.
- For every £5,000 we could help strengthen the evidence, insight and policy expertise that enables CPRE to influence MPs and policymakers of the intrinsic value of our countryside. Thereby improving decisions about how our land is used across England to help secure better outcomes for the countryside, nature and local communities.
- For every £10,000, we could help drive systemic change for the countryside at a national level. Your support could enable bold, large-scale campaigning and strategic advocacy that doesn’t just influence decisions, but shapes the national debate on land use, nature recovery and how climate priorities are set across England. This would help strengthen CPRE’s ability to shift government thinking, influence major national frameworks, drive stronger protections for landscapes, and ensure the countryside is properly valued in every major national policy decision.
