Sarah Lusty
Sarah is a Civil Servant who has had experience in both Welsh Government Social Care Policy and Environmental Policy through her time on the Civil Service Fast Stream. She is the youngest Trustee in YHA's history and is passionate about empowering the voices of young people, particularly those frequently marginalised.
Her interest in both countryside and urban cultural spaces led Sarah to study Geography at University. She cares deeply about the wellbeing benefits of adventure outside, having experienced first-hand how time in nature is good for mental health whilst studying during the pandemic. She has enjoyed the opportunities for adventure on a budget through stays at YHA hostels.
Sarah is passionate about positive change and is excited to contribute to YHA’s vision. She advocates for inclusion, championing for this within her personal life, workplace and voluntary work. Sarah has extensive voluntary experience with a diverse range of communities, including those who may be marginalised or separated from mainstream services: young people, people with disabilities, sex workers, and older people.
