Hide AdAttracted by the Partnership’s reputation for doing amazing work in the community, Sarah is keen to build on Susannah Bleakley’s legacy of broad multi-sector projects helping the Bay to thrive.
She said “I’m thrilled to be the CEO of the Partnership and to start a new chapter living and working in Morecambe Bay. I love working with people to inspire them about the value of our natural, cultural and built heritage and this amazing place has all of it in spades.”
As early as the age of eight, Sarah was inspired by the frogs, toads and slow worms in her garden, trips to a local gravel pit and holidays in the Norfolk Broads listening and watching birdlife.
She added: ‘’But it’s not just about nature for me. I am a huge supporter of local food, sustainable public transport, volunteering and community action and I am looking forward to seeking out opportunities to support local farmers, growers, and businesses around the Bay.”
