Dingley’s Promise welcomes interim Chair of Board Sarah Clarke

Dingley’s Promise welcomes interim Chair of Board Sarah Clarke

Sarah became a Trustee of Dingley’s Promise in 2023 and is proud to contribute to their mission of ensuring every child has the best start in life, while championing inclusion and supporting families to thrive.

Sarah is a dedicated parent carer of two neurodivergent teenagers, each with very different needs and diagnoses. Her personal family journey, alongside the experiences of other families she has met along the way, has been the driving force behind her commitment to improving outcomes for children, young people, and their families.

She first became involved with her local Parent Carer Forum in 2015, quickly stepping into the role of Chair, and later becoming Joint CEO when the forum transitioned into a charity. Sarah’s leadership has always been solution-focused, building constructive partnerships with stakeholders to drive positive change.

In 2020, Sarah joined the National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF) as the South East Regional Director, supporting 19 Parent Carer Forums across the region. In this role, she worked regionally and nationally with key partners, including the Department for Education, health bodies, and local authorities. In Spring 2023, she was appointed Co-Chair of the NNPCF, further strengthening her influence in shaping national policy and practice.

Her lived experience, combined with her leadership skills and commitment to collaboration, continues to guide her work in championing the voices of families and ensuring meaningful change. We are delighted that Sarah has agreed to lead our Board of Trustees as an interim chair and are excited about the vision and direction she will bring.
