Heidi Watson

Chris Dooley
This photo is of Chris on his wedding day in December 2011.
Just 3 short months later his wife Claire passed away she was just 30 years old.
Claire was someone that our Founder, Naomi, knew from online cancer forums, and although she never had the privilege to meet her she was one of the reasons for setting up The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation.
Chris knows first hand what it is like to to live with cancer every day in a relationship and just how important it is to some to marry when the know the end is getting closer.
Our Ambassadors

Lee is an award winning Senior Front of House Manager at Strawberry Field Catering based in Bath.
He has been a supporter and fundraiser for the charity since 2013 and has taken part in many events along with his family. Lee was also part of the events team which host The Bristol & Somerset Wedding Awards feat. The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation Appreciation Awards during 2013 - 2015.
Alix Renshaw
Alix has been a fundraiser and supporter of the charity for some time now. She went to school with our Founder, Naomi, and knows her family very well, so the charity is close to her heart.
Whenever we are looking for help or something specifically special or challenging for our couples or the charity Alix is "on the case".
She will be a big asset to us here at The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation.
Jo Rowley
Jo has been a fundraiser since 2016 when she held the competition "Win A Hertfordshire Wedding".
Her dedication to the charity since then has been second to none. Jo has many contacts and suppliers in her area which will prove incredibly useful when organising future weddings and events.
We are thrilled to have Jo on the team.
Louise Baker
Louise has been a real asset to the charity for many years now.
As a very talented writer she has helped to write press releases, speeches and website content for the charity.
She also helped our Founder, Naomi, to write her book "No Ordinary Wedding Planner" back in 2014.
Louise and her husband Adam have also raised money for the charity by taking part in running events where they live in Derbyshire. A real achievement as they both class themselves as "non-runners".
Caroline Searle
From 5km to 26 miles there is no distance that Caroline won’t run in aid of The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation; this amazing lady has tackled everything from shorter distance 5km runs to the London and Yorkshire marathons earlier this year, as well as completing the 10km Great West Run and Great South Run in the space of a single week. If she can run it, Caroline is there! We are so grateful to have Caroline on board as an ambassador; whether she’s running, representing our cause at a wedding fair, or organising people in a Bake Off style competition, Caroline's hard work and dedication to the charity is unending.
