2024 Christmas Tree Festival
We announced the favourite tree vote result at the 10 am service on Christmas Day. If you missed the news, in total there were 743 votes, with High Wycombe Church of England school taking 1st place for the schools and Sands Valley WI receiving the most votes for other organisations. Congratulations to both.
An enormous thank you to everyone who helped to make the 2024 festival a success, whether you assisted with putting up or taking down the trees, decorated them, baked sweet treats, served in the café, welcomed visitors, helped at the Sparkle or counted and banked the donations. We are pleased to announce that with the combined tree sponsorship, visitor donations, café, and Sparkle event, our tenth festival raised just under £3,000. Lis and Thistle

Wycombe Homeless Connection’s Big Sleepout is back!
Will you sign up to sleep out so that others don’t have to?
It's on Saturday 15 February 2025 and will be particularly meaningful as it is taking place while their winter night shelter is open. It’s an opportunity to show solidarity with people who are homeless and raise money for WHC's life saving work.
Choose to sleep out at Adams Park, home of Wycombe Wanderers Football Club, or at home in a place of your choosing. Get together with your friends, family home group or youth group to take part or join as an individual.
Find out more and register on their website: https://wyhoc.org.uk/bigsleepout2025
