Environmental Protection UK is a national member based charity. Our head office is located in Brighton and we have ten regional Divisions throughout the UK. Each Division elects a number of representatives (proportionate to local membership size) to sit on our national Council, Board of Trustees and our three Policy Committees.

The operational management of the organisation is the responsibility of the Chief Executive and a team of staff based in the Brighton Head Office. Some Divisions also employ their own policy and administrative staff. The charity also owns a trading company, Environmental Protection Trading Ltd.
