About me

My name is Daniel Friend, and I first became one of your Councillors in 2016 and then re-elected as your District Councillor in 2023.


I live in Sandwich with my wife and our three children.

I am deeply involved in lots of groups and charities in the town and have family connections to Sandwich spanning generations.

My name is Dan Friend, and I'm a family man with a deep commitment to serving my local community. I'm married to my wife Megan and have three children, and I'm proud to live and work in Sandwich. I've served as a District Councillor for nearly two years, and I'm excited to bring my passion for service and community to this campaign.

I'm dedicated to making Sandwich and Woodnesborough the best they can be, and I deeply understand the wants and needs of the community. As a trustee or committee member for many local groups, including Citizens Advice, Gazen Salts Nature Reserve, Sandwich is Open, Sandwich United Charity, Great Oaks Small School, Community Caretakers, The P22 Trust, Talk it Out, Chamber of Commerce, and the Royal British Legion, and many more! I'm committed to making a difference and helping these groups achieve their goals.

As someone who lives and works in the area, I have a firsthand understanding of the community's challenges and opportunities. I'm committed to responsible growth, equitable opportunities for all, and community engagement. I believe in listening to the needs of the people, working together to achieve common goals, and making decisions that will benefit the community for years to come.

If re-elected, I'll bring my energy, experience, and dedication to the role, working tirelessly to positively impact the local community.
