When Angela isn’t at work, her two young boys keep her on her toes. Having heard about homelessness they have been inspired to do the Marlow Santa’s Fun Run and the Big Sleepout “at home” twice to raise money for WHC.

Sarah Fletcher, Community and Events Fundraising Officer

Sarah brings over 25 years of experience from the wonderfully chaotic world of self-employment in events and marketing. A lover of all things purple (it's convenient that WHC's branding matches hers!), she’s easily bribed with good food and happiest when she’s out in nature. Sarah is also a foster mum for Cats Protection and can usually be found at Wycombe Rye Parkrun most weekends.

Sarah found us when volunteering at the Night Shelter in 2025.

David has over 20 years’ experience working with donations kindly donated to charities. At WHC he makes sure everyone who gives to us is thanked. He also oversees monitoring our impact stats, making sure the outcomes we achieve for people in a housing crisis can be celebrated and reported to the people who support our work.

David likes computers, spreadsheets and data, he loves being in the wilder parts of these islands, where the beck splashes the heather, and the oak wood grows down to the lake.

Dane Cobain, Volunteering Coordinator
