Sarah, CEO and Co-FounderSarah co-founded the Community Garden with Becca in 2020 after they met through local parenting groups. Since then the organisation has grown, setting up as a charity, taking on staff and now managing Hillfields Park Community Centre. With a passion for Hillfields, Sarah has championed the area across the city and lobbied for funding and services to be directed to local residents.
Sarah knows the local area well and has built strong relationships across the community. She’s a big believer in the power of people coming together — and in the importance of public spaces, play, and neighbourly connections to help drive positive change. E: [email protected] T: 0117 304 8045 |
