Helen Hocking

Helen worked in finance within the public and charity sector in Plymouth for over 30 years. She qualified as a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) at Plymouth City Council and worked in a number of roles before becoming Head of Finance.

In 2009 she took a lead role in the transfer of the City’s Council houses from the Council to a new charity, Plymouth Community Homes, where she became Financial Controller. This gave her the opportunity of working in the charity sector and also seeing how important good and secure housing is.

Helen feels honoured and very fortunate that she can now use her skills to support such an inspiring charity as St Luke’s.
