Sara Fulford
Joint Secretary
I have a background working in and managing adult social care services, but I have never learned so much as I have as an older person myself with mobility issues, and as a carer for family members needing services! Unconscious, and sometimes overt, ageism remains rife , even amongst policy makers. I am determined to see it reduced through the work, and raising voices of, older people, hence happy to be joint secretary for the OPC.
