Sally Desborough, Founder
Sally has 11+ years experience working in HR, starting in 2008. Over the course of those 11 years she worked in different organisations from Engineering & Manufacturing to Financial Services. From each business she learned a great deal, including about herself and what cultures work for her! Needless to say there were bumps along the way. In 2016 she experienced a significant bump - a diagnosis of severe depression along with symptoms of anxiety. A very difficult time but out of the other side of her recovery has now trained well over 250 people in Mental Health First Aid alone.
In 2018 Sally shaved her head for charity, raising over £15,800 - one of her proudest achievements! Her loves in life are her family (in particular nieces and nephews), playing netball, playing the piano, watching Netflix and movies, and the odd glass of Prosecco now and again!
