Caroline Lucas made new trustee of Cuckmere Haven SOS

Cuckmere Haven SOS has appointed Caroline Lucas as a new trustee. The former MP for Brighton Pavilion and Green Party leader will bring "new energy and a fresh perspective" to the role. Ms Lucas, who continues to write and campaign on environmental issues, said: “I’m delighted to take up this appointment.

"Cuckmere Haven is such a special place and its heritage is both cultural and environmental – it’s vital that both are protected. "I look forward to doing all I can to help to achieve that." Cuckmere Haven SOS is currently being advised by Whaleback Ltd ahead of submitting a planning application to repair and strengthen the sea defences at Cuckmere Haven.



This is "urgently needed" to preserve the area’s cultural heritage. The application is expected to be submitted in the second half of 2025. Ms Lucas' experience in public policy and sustainability is expected to benefit the charity's future plans.
