Meet the team

Hi, I'm Sarah and I am Chief Officer of Healthwatch Blackburn with Darwen.  Prior to joining Healthwatch, I was a member of the senior management team at Blackburn Youth Zone with responsibilities for business development, finance, HR and operations and have also worked part time at Blackburn with Darwen Healthy Living with responsibilities for business development and community engagement projects. Having worked in the borough for 8 years I am really excited about focusing my work on ensuring a voice for our residents on health and social care provision and helping to address health inequalities in the borough.

I am Louise and a Project Officer at Healthwatch Blackburn with Darwen. Before I came to Healthwatch I was employed by Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and Lancashire County Council delivering programmes and projects including the Troubled Families Programme, Housing Market Renewal and an early intervention Youth Homelessness Trailblazer pilot aimed at reducing youth homelessness across Pennine Lancashire.  More recently I was responsible for the delivery of the IAPT Contract across East Lancashire for Lancashire Women.  I am pleased to be back working in Blackburn after living and working in Blackburn for most of my life.
