It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend Sally Carr, CAT’s Chair of Trustees.
Sally has been described as a bright spark, a force of nature, a beautiful soul – she was all of this and more. Thoughtful, kind, funny, clever, loving and very much loved, she touched many people’s lives with her empathy, compassion, sense of fun, and wise counsel.
As well as being an incredible friend and colleague, Sally had a lifelong love for CAT. She first arrived for a week’s volunteering in 1986, and immediately felt at home. She came back year after year, eventually volunteering to manage other volunteers before leaving her job as a leadership coach to come to work with us full time. On retirement in 2019, she was invited to join our Board of Trustees, becoming Chair in April last year.
As Chair, Sally helped steer CAT’s development with passion, commitment and kindness. Across her various roles she worked with hundreds of different people, including many of CAT’s members, supporters and students, as well as trustees, staff and volunteers, giving generously of her time and knowledge and always seeking to find the path of the greatest good.
Sally will be so very missed by all who knew her, and our thoughts and love go out to all of her family and friends at this difficult time.
Our Vice Chair, Andrew Pearman will step into the role of Chair for the moment, and we will announce any further updates in due course.
