Liz Webber, Centre Operations and Development Manager

I started working at East Side Youth Centre in September 2026. I have vast and varied background having gained experience working in many different places and with many different people.

I have also lived in Totteridge since 2014 and have a real passion for making East Side Youth Centre, the “place to be” for young people, a place for them to “Belong, Build and Become” as they find their place in our community, High Wycombe and the world.

I am married, with a teenage daughter, and a very friendly Miniature Dachshund called Buddy, who you might see around the centre. I love to craft, paddleboard, go on long walks, watch films, complete puzzles, play board games, and hang out with friends.

Brandon, Chair of Directors

I’m passionate about creating opportunities for young people and ensuring they have safe, welcoming spaces where they can develop, connect and thrive. I currently work as Youth Services Manager at the Youth Enquiry Service in High Wycombe, where I lead the development and delivery of services for young people, alongside my work in safeguarding, youth participation and partnership development.

I’m proud to now bring this experience to East Side Youth Centre as Chair of Directors. I want to help the centre continue to grow, strengthen its impact and, most importantly, ensure that young people remain at the heart of what we do. I’m particularly passionate about giving young people a genuine voice in shaping the services and opportunities available to them.

Outside of youth work, I’m a keen rugby player and enjoy spending time with friends.

Rob, Director

I have been a Director at East Side Youth Centre for the past couple of years. I have also been involved in youth work at the centre through St Andrews’s Church.

I want to ensure that the centre is a fun-filled space, where local young people can relax, hang out, and play a game of pool, or table football, as well as, a space they can learn new skills and grow.

I am married, and work as a building surveyor, which takes me out and about around the county.

I love socialising with friends and driving tractors!

Kathryn, Director & Secretary

I joined the East Side Directors in July 2023 and I am the Secretary and HR Lead. I have been involved in leading youth clubs and mentoring young people for many years, and I’m now working to help support other youth workers in their area to engage with and support youth. I have worked in East Side and run youth groups out of the centre. I absolutely loved what it offers the community, and it’s amazing potential for the youth in our area so I became involved as a trustee.
I am also married with two children and enjoy film nights and baking.

Jonny, Director

I joined the ESYC Directors in Summer 2026. I have been involved in youth work at the Centre for many years, and I am keen to use my skills and expertise to help make the centre even better than it already is.

I am married with 2 teenagers, and I work at the BBC in London. I love sailing, having friends over and spending time with my family.

Kelly, Director

I have grown up within volunteering, with my family running the local community centre and youth clubs. This has taken an impact on me and has guided my career working with Barnardos and now with Bucks Students’ Union. My role within the Union allows me to work with students boosting their employability and gain the experience needed for their future careers by providing volunteering and fundraising opportunities.

I am proud to bring that to East Side Youth Centre, supporting the Directors and clients of the centre. 

It has never been more important to support the upcoming generations for their future careers and lives.

My life is anything but quiet, raising 4 boys means one second kicking a ball to deciding what’s for dinner! But I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Monica, Director

My name is Monica and I joined East Side Youth Centre as a trustee in summer 2026. I have been a youth worker for over 30 years and I LOVE being part of a community that is so passionate about making the world a better place for young people. I have 2 grownup (and very marvellous) children and a very hairy dog. I love travelling and swimming and keep meaning to take some street dance lessons (one of these days...)
