Meet The Team

Sandie has been involved within the community of her home town since returning to Chippenham in 1980. Over time she has been both a Town and Wiltshire Councillor and was Leader of the Town Council from 2017-2021.

The family have had businesses in the town since her husband, Doug, opened his first shop in 1971. At present there are three units which are run by sons, Martin and Steve.

Born and bred in Chippenham with a keen belief in the power of both charity and voluntary work, Ross is a Wiltshire Councillor for Chippenham and a builder by trade. 

Local man Ian is a retired Wiltshire College lecturer who is also adept at DIY and very much a people person.

Among other volunteering work he also delivers food for a local food bank and spends his time working for the community.

He has been a part of the team at the Hub for over a year and recently agreed to become a trustee - a role that he is developing to ensure accessible educational opportunities for those outside of the traditional learning route.

With 32 years in the Royal Navy as an Air Engineering Officer, George has a broad background of experience combined with an enthusiasm to volunteer to support others. 

George will always be seen with a puppy as he is also a volunteer puppy raiser for the Guide Dogs.

Born and bred in Chippenham, Ladonna is people oriented with the ideal attributes and experience to ensure that this exciting community venture will flourish. She makes a great leader of the new team and the enormous progress made in such a short time that the team have been together bodes well for the future.

Ashleigh is fairly new to Chippenham but has fully embraced the community. She has 3 boys that keep her busy at home, so coming to the hub is a nice break for her!

She works alongside Ladonna to ensure the smooth running of the hub.

Emily worked in health and social care prior to joining Chippenham Community hub. As well as working for us, she is a co-founder of Chippenham Collective, another local charity.

"I chose to volunteer with Chippenham community hub  to be involved with the community and to help signpost to other organisations. Also, I make the visitors a nice cup of tea/coffee when they most need it and I also specifically run the Crafty Crew with fun, laughter and jokes on a Monday."

Andy worked at Westinghouse in Chippenham until retiring in 2008. He's been a volunteer for many years, mainly with Heritage Railways.

Being an engineer, Andy is the Hubber that fixes, builds and adjusts whatever needs doing.
