Yvonne Capland

I joined Held in Our Hearts in 2026 as its first in-house Finance Officer, bringing with me almost 20 years of experience in charity finance. I already knew of the organisation through families who have received invaluable support during the most difficult times, and I’m really glad to now play a part in helping things run smoothly.

Alongside my finance work, I’m also a yoga teacher and yoga therapist, and through this and various volunteering roles I’ve supported people experiencing grief, loss and despair. I’ve seen first-hand the difference that compassionate, non-judgemental listening can make, and I try to keep that at the forefront of everything I do—whether I’m directly supporting someone or simply working away on the bookkeeping.
