Sarah led the merger between Parents At Work and New Ways To Work, which resulted in the launch of the new work-life balance charity Working Families in 2004.
Leading Working Families’ policy and parliamentary work, she is the charity’s key media and public spokesperson on all aspects of work-life balance. Sarah has chaired the judging panel for the Working Families Employer of the Year best practice awards since 1996; and developed the Top Employers for Working Families benchmark, for which she chairs for awards judging panel.
Sarah has ranked in Human Resources Magazine’s “HR top 100 Most Influential” regularly since the inaugural list in 2006.

She is a member of the Policy Advisory Board of the Social Market Foundation.
Like the majority of staff at Working Families, Sarah does not work full-time. Flexible hours give her time to enjoy family life with a teenage son and student daughter, and to chair the grant-making charity Classics for All.
