After reading Social Sciences at Exeter University and working with children on
probation, Sarah became a Home Tutor for the Rugby Education Authority, teaching
secondary school children excluded from school for disturbed and violent behaviour.
Working with the NSPCC during the 1970s, when they were setting up Therapeutic Playgroups
for mothers with their 'at risk' children, she became acutely conscious of the loneliness
and neglect that can be passed on from one generation to the next.
For 10 years Sarah ran a Saturday Club with the help of pupils from Lancing College
- developing swimming, rowing, riding and art projects for physically and mentally
disabled children and young people.
On the Council of Amnesty International, she was the lead author of the first Amnesty
International Education Pack for secondary schools, called Teaching and Learning
about Human Rights.
In 1988, encouraged by Amnesty, she set up the charity Right
from the Start. Sarah also worked for the local Citizens Advice Bureau.
She and her husband live in Norfolk. They have 4 children and 11 grandchildren.
