Our Partners

We believe that our effectiveness can be increased by working in partnership with like-minded organisations. Already we have a number of partners who work with us on specific campaigns and projects, sponsor specific activities or support us in other ways, as listed below.

We would welcome approaches from others who would like to enhance their own efforts by collaborating with us in some way. Therefore, if you think your organisation has something to give to CPRE's environmental efforts in Hampshire and you want to capitalise on the green credentials of your own work, please contact our director Anthony McEwen (Email: Anthony.mcewen@cprehampshire.org.uk
