She is a key person in the community of Swaythling and puts a huge amount of effort into helping the community. I know her through her involvement in St Alban’s and St Mary’s churches in Swaythling, where she is heavily involved in running activities including Thursdays Together (a combined food bank and social/support event), Messy Church (a different form of church for young people and families), youth activities, craft groups and more. She has made a massive difference to the community there – both supporting people herself and bringing people together to support each other. Personally, she (and her husband, Peter) have provided a lot of support to my family, particularly when my son was young and my wife and I were struggling massively with mental health problems. There are multiple people in Swaythling who would say they owe their lives to Sarah. Somehow she manages to do this while also looking after her three teenage children and running a household – I really don’t know how. She does all of this with limited resources and doesn’t always get the recognition she deserves.
