Thanks very much for your presentation -it was very powerful and sharing your story have inspired all the participants so much that we had comments on our intranet later on.

Incredibly educational & thought-provoking
This week we welcomed Sarah Petherbridge – Disability Awareness Trainer – to Chilly’s to talk to us all about ‘abilities’ not ‘disabilities’, and how important it is to embed equity and inclusivity into our culture.
It was an incredibly educational and thought-provoking session, enlightening us all to the hidden experiences of others. Thank you, Sarah!

Disability confident
It was valuable to hear about your story and how we can become better allies for those who may need it.
I am really keen to see this improve at Mulberry and I feel that you have helped me become more disability confident.
I look forward to having more conversations about this in the future. Thank you so much.

A super D&I leader
Sarah and I worked closely together for several years as part of the Ability network (Ability EY) leadership team at EY and it was an absolute pleasure to present her with the firm’s top award for Ability leadership at the Ability EY inaugural awards event in December 2017.
She is a D&I change-leader and takes on challenges that others shy away from. For example constructively speaking truth to power when needed (including me!), being a highly visible role-model for people with hearing loss (and other impairments), and ensuring that supportive technology actually worked for her colleagues who needed it.
In summary, Sarah is a super D&I leader and team-player who gets things done and inspires others to do the same.

Sarah has delivered disability awareness training to our Divisional Boards and HR colleagues
It was a really powerful session as Sarah shared her personal experience living with a disability and the impact this can have on an individual and their mental health.
A well received session which was engaging, insightful and raised awareness significantly on workplace inclusivity.
Following Sarah’s sessions, we received lots of positive feedback from across the business. We would highly recommend Sarah as a disability awareness trainer.

Fantastic & highly educational
The training really re-emphasized the importance of asking others how we can help as allies rather than make assumptions. It also provided us with enough information to ask better questions and not be afraid to do so. Fantastic.
