Her commitment and genuine passion for what she does is inspiring and rubs off on those around her.

She is an expert in organisational strategy and governance, successfully working with trustees and staff to develop a new strategic framework and guiding The Trust through a complex governance review which have strengthened the organisation considerably. Personally I have benefitted from Sarah's coaching skills, which have helped me to develop into a confident senior manager. It would be fantastic to have the opportunity to work with Sarah again in the future.
