Meet Khalil AHMED
I have been a resident of High Wycombe since 1977, attending local schools and raising my family in this cherished community. My commitment to High Wycombe is evident in my decade-long service as a local councillor on Wycombe District Council and my candidacy for the Wycombe parliamentary seat in 2019 and 2024. I had the privilege of serving as the town’s Mayor in 2014/15 and have been a Parish Councillor since 2021. During the Covid pandemic, I helped establish a temporary food bank in a local church to support those in self-isolation. Alongside Trevor Snaith, I co-founded the Wycombe Food Hub, focusing on environmental protection while providing food and essentials to families in need. I am a vocal advocate for social justice and am dedicated to helping those who reach out to me.
