Sally Lewis

Vice-Chair of Trustees

Sally works full-time for Gloucestershire County Council based in their Gloucester Children's Safeguarding Teams supporting parents to move on with their lives. Previously she has worked countywide for over 30 years in Further Education and Community Learning.

Sally has been a GRCC Trustee since 2014 and has lived in Gloucestershire all her life. She is married to a farmer who farms a family farm at Elmstone Hardwicke. Sally has a strong personal and professional interest in rural life, access to services, and social inclusion in rural areas.

Previously, as part of the county-wide Tackling Mental Health Stigma group, Sally has been on a sub group promoting this work to farmers, others involved in agriculture, and vets. This has led to a successful promotion at the Countywide Young Farmer's Rally, being invited to take part on a discussion in the NFU Tent at Three Counties Show around mental health, and also visiting various Young Farmers' Clubs to promote tackling mental health stigma with a presentation at Club meetings.
