Since our first Town Meeting last November, one thing has become clear: there are still hundreds of people across High Wycombe who care deeply about where they live and want to play a part in making it even better. Wycombians exists to help connect those people.
Since our formation at the first Wycombe Town Meeting, we’ve organised into a volunteer-run, non-partisan community initiative bringing together residents, local groups, charities, clubs, creatives and civic organisations. Our aim is simple: make it easier for people to discover what’s happening in the town, get involved in local life, and work together on ideas that can help High Wycombe thrive. And we’ve been active since then and have some exciting announcements for the town!
Our new website is live
We’re delighted to launch our new website: wycombians.org.uk. The site is designed as a hub for the town. You can:
Discover local events and activities.
Find volunteering opportunities.
Learn about upcoming town meetings.
Connect with local organisations.
Sign up to get involved with Wycombians.
Whether you can offer two hours a month or want to help lead projects, we’d love to hear from you.
Help us build Wycombe’s community directory
One of our first projects is creating a comprehensive directory of local organisations.
High Wycombe already has hundreds of community groups, sports clubs, arts organisations, charities, environmental projects and neighbourhood initiatives doing fantastic work. Too often, people simply don’t know they exist. If you’re involved in a local group, please add your details through the website. We’re looking for organisations of all sizes, from established charities to informal community projects. Together we can make it easier for residents to find opportunities, activities and support across the town.
Save the date
Our next town meeting is planned for Sunday, 15th November at 2 - 5pm in the Brunel Engine Shed, beside the railway station. All are welcome! These meetings are an opportunity to meet other residents, hear about local projects, share ideas and help shape practical action for the town. Full details and RSVP information will be available on the website soon.
Get involved
Wycombians is built by local people for local people. We’re also looking for volunteers to help with events, communications, community outreach, and for example distributing this very magazine, quickly becoming one of the centre pieces to the cultural life of the town!
If you’ve ever thought “someone should do something about that”, perhaps that someone is us, working together. Visit wycombians.org.uk, email us at hello@wycombians.org.uk and join us as we continue bringing Wycombe together.
