Sarah is a Research & Evaluation Consultant with an MSc in Health & Social Care Management & Policy. She has a strong background in working with young people from marginalised backgrounds. Sarah’s approach is anchored in co-produced methodologies, ensuring meaningful stakeholder involvement in evaluation processes. Her professional journey also includes significant work in trauma-informed, gender-sensitive and culturally aware research and evaluation.

Until 2022, Sarah worked at Fulfilling Lives Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham where she focused on building relationships with community groups, co-producing developmental evaluative research on their needs and barriers faced, and (re)developing the services and peer-led projects offered accordingly.

Recently Sarah worked with young people in communities funded by Empowering Local, conducting research aimed at strengthening their approach to place-based funding for young people’s support services. She also led a Youth Futures Foundation research project to understand how services can better talk to young people about their identities, and use this demographic data to deliver more equitable services.
