Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

The High Wycombe Society was founded in 1969 to bring together people who valued our town and wanted to prevent its deterioration in the face of the development pressures that had run rampant in the 1960s. Although the bodies that manage the town are today far more mindful than their predecessors of so much that is of value in our historic town, the work of the High Wycombe Society continues.
