5: Sarah Kerry talks Day Services, development, and dedication

In this episode, Kirstie chats with Sarah Kerry, our new Head of Day and Support Services.

Sarah reflects on her recent job change, her deep roots in Day Services, and her 20-year journey with Ashgate — one filled with laughter, personal growth, and the privilege of walking alongside people at vulnerable points in their lives.

She shares heartfelt stories about her evolving family, reveals a surprising musical past (involving a kazoo and a marching band!), and talks candidly about how she recharges through her horses, gardening , and spending time outdoors.

With warmth and wisdom, Sarah offers insights into compartmentalising work and home life, the power of long-standing teams, and the patience it takes to lead meaningful change.
