About

Dominic Pinkney

Since 2021 Dominic has been an Amersham Town Councillor, playing a key role in running the Council and being a local champion for residents.

He was Chair of the Town Council’s Finance & General Purposes Committee for 3 years, guiding it through the toughest economic conditions for decades with the end of Covid and then the cost of living crisis. Due to his input, Amersham Town Council finances are stronger in 2025 than they were in 2021.

In May 2024 Dominic became the Mayor of Amersham which has many duties including being the Chair of Amersham Town Council, running full council meetings and overseeing the work of the Council.

As he passionately believes that volunteers change the world and makes communities stronger Dominic chose to focus on volunteering as his theme for his Mayoral year, helping residents to find suitable roles, promoting roles within charities and groups and in March 2025 organised Amersham’s biggest ever Volunteer Awards with over 150 local people recognised and celebrated for their volunteering.

As well as his Amersham Town Council duties he has supported local residents with various issues from business advice, visas, parking issues and getting dangerous potholes repaired.

Amersham resident Dominic is the Chief Executive of 2 charities as well as a social enterprise all working to increase and develop volunteering and community participation, from large corporations to hyper-local volunteering.

As an expert on volunteering he has written several influential national and regional reports on volunteering including most recently the London Vision for Volunteering, where Dominic led a collaborative process to produce for the first time a blueprint to develop volunteering in the capital as well as the rest of the UK.

He is internationally recognised for his work and has represented the UK voluntary and community sector at the United Nations on several occasions, leading and facilitating discussions on how to reach the Sustainable Development Goals.

Dominic loves the place and people of the Amersham area and would relish another chance to work hard for local residents and the environment.

Dominic and his long-term partner, who works for the NHS, have made Amersham their home as it is such a wonderful town with amazing people;.

He loves all animals and owns a couple of mischievous but adorable cats.
