Meet the Team

Wendy de Capell Brooke, President


​I have been involved with The Friends of The Royal Marsden Chelsea for over 25 years as a volunteer in flowers, organising events and sponsorship and as a committee member, chairman and trustee. It is a privilege to be involved in The Royal Marsden and I continue to be inspired by the staff, volunteers, the patients and their families.

In addition to my role at The Friends of The Royal Marsden Chelsea, I currently hold roles in the property, agriculture and the state education sectors.

Cristiana Aragoni, Chair

I first visited the Royal Marsden Hospital, Chelsea to accompany a very close friend for regular long term therapy.  I was inspired by the kindness of staff and volunteers and started volunteering in the cafe’ in 2018.  I then moved to the Friends’ shop where I focused on widening the range of healthier snacks and drinks.

​Before volunteering at the Royal Marsden, Chelsea I  worked in Sales & Marketing for over 15 years in the Language and Cross Cultural Training sector.

Sarah Phipps, Vice Chair

I first visited the Royal Marsden, Chelsea in 2015 and following treatment, decided that I wanted to give back in a way that would enhance the patient experience.   I started on Meet & Greet in March 2017 and then added outpatient support alongside the cafe and administration support in the Critical Care Unit.

​Prior to the pandemic, I had my own Event Management and Fundraising Consultancy for over twenty five years.
