Regional Engagement Officer

Sep 2022 - Present
The Ramblers is a charity dedicated to removing barriers so everyone can enjoy walking in green spaces and to preserving and improving hundreds of thousands of miles of well-loved paths, tracks and trails across England, Scotland, and Wales. We're committed to campaigning to keep our countryside open to all and to fighting for the things that matter most to walkers. As part of the Regional Engagement Team I support the SE Area and Group committees to deliver the Ramblers mission. As a team we provide training opportunities for volunteers to gain new skills, support them with recruitment, governance and problem solving issues.
