The South Chilterns Path Maintenance Volunteers (SCPMV), part of the Chiltern Society’s Rights of Way Group, was established in 2004 to help improve access to the rights of way in South Oxfordshire.
Working closely with the three Chiltern Society Oxfordshire Area Secretaries and their thirty-seven parish path representatives, Oxfordshire County Council (OCC), Trust for Oxfordshire’s Environment (TOE), landowners and H&G Ramblers, the SCPMV organises four workdays per month to carry out clearance, waymarking and gate installation projects.
We meet at 9.00 am on the second and fourth Wednesday’s and Saturday’s each month, working across the Oxfordshire Chilterns from Goring to Ewelme and from Henley to Chinnor. We use hand and power tools, work until 1.00 and then most attend the nearest village pub for a convivial; beer and pub lunch.
If you are a walker or cyclist, and enjoy the thousands of trails in this beautiful part of the World, it’s a constructive way to give something back to the community, but it is also a great way to get a knowledge and appreciation of the area.
We have volunteers who join us once or twice a year as well as many regulars, so for more information, or to give it a go, please contact:

Our medical humanitarian projects are supported by offices in 44 countries, including the UK and Ireland. These teams recruit staff, organise fundraising, and raise awareness on the humanitarian crises our colleagues are witnessing, as well as running different and diverse support activities. MSF offices are spread across Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa and Australasia.
At MSF UK/IE, we support MSF's operations by building relationships with our supporters, increasing awareness of our work, raising funds, providing specialist medical expertise, ensuring MSF staff have access to relevant higher education programmes, catalysing change on medical humanitarian issues, and recruiting field staff.
