It was fascinating to hear from CEO Henry Allmand about the important work of the Heart of Bucks charity in its 25th anniversary year.
Heart of Bucks has awarded more than £17 million to more than 6,000 charities since its first grant in 2000. These include local charities such as the Wycombe Wanderers Foundation , and the Movers and Shakers health and wellbeing group for older people in Castlefield.
Wycombe wards such as Castlefield and Oakridge are some of the most deprived in Buckinghamshire. Through its Together Against Poverty campaign, Heart of Bucks has provided several hundred thousand pounds in crisis grants to individuals and households in Wycombe
