Sarah joined Stockdales as the Fundraising Officer in 2020, just before the pandemic hit. She was promoted to Fundraising Manager 2 years later. She enjoys the varied and challenging world of fundraising and has a keen eye for detail in managing events. Sarah really loves working for a charity and the job satisfaction this brings. Seeing the people we support and meeting their families, makes her job so worthwhile and she strives to raise as much money as possible to benefit them. Sarah has 2 children and in her spare time, apart from being a taxi service to them, she enjoys walking, going to the gym and horse riding when she can.

Ian’s journey with Stockdales started when he was just 2 years old. He used to come for respite care one evening a week to give his mum and dad some time out. As we developed our services over the years, Ian and his family continued to benefit from the support offered. Ian lived at home until 2011 when he moved into one of our residential houses. Unfortunately, his mum had passed away and his dad needed additional support too as caring for Ian was becoming more difficult. Understandably, he wanted to make sure that Ian’s future care was secure and got in touch with Stockdales. Known and trusted by Ian and his family, we were the natural choice to offer them all peace of mind.

Amanda has lived in our residential services for many years since childhood. She is a caring person who is like a ‘mother hen’ to the friends she lives with. Amanda like to make sure everyone is OK, helping out and offering advice where she can. An outgoing character, she loves a good party with lots of dancing. And you can guarantee she will be the last one on the dance-floor!

When we first introduced Dream Days in 2015, our aim was to help as many people as possible have their dream experiences. At the time, we couldn’t find anyone offering this to people of all ages, particularly to adults. We set about changing that and our lovely Dream Days project was born. Since then, we have supported lots of people and their families to tick stuff off their bucket lists.
