As Connected Communities Lead, Sarah leads our community and place-based work. Sarah coordinates the Outdoor Community Play (OCP) fund which Thrive Outdoors manages on behalf of the Scottish Government.

Sarah enables the funded charity partners to deliver excellence in OCP to achieve the fund and Thrive Outdoor outcomes.  Day-to-day, Sarah monitors and reports on charity and fund performance; analyses impact and learning data; and provides capacity building training and support to the portfolio.

Favourite place to explore outdoors:  My favourite places are near water. I love visiting Castle Semple Loch to walk along the water and through the forest.
