Sarah Caton

November 27, 1970 - December 15, 2021

Our wonderful friend and colleague Sarah Caton died peacefully at home surrounded by her family on 15 December. As the fabulous Chief Officer of ADCS from its inception, Sarah had a tireless commitment to her work and was passionate about the growth and influence of the Association. She led with humour and integrity, and was a fierce supporter of her staff team. Sarah was the heart and soul of ADCS; she drew people together around friendship, fun, immense volumes of work and a shared purpose. The outpouring of love from across the country when we found out she was ill demonstrated her place in the hearts of so many. We have lost a dear friend, an advocate and a leader. She was an inspiration and we will miss her hugely, but her legacy will live on in our lives and in our work. ADCS is the Association it is because of her. In lieu of flowers Sarah asked for any donations to go Macmillan Cancer Support - https://tributefunds.macmillan.org.uk/In-Memory/Sarah-Caton

The thing that I suspect will linger longest in my memories of Sarah will be her throaty laugh....which spoke so much of the joy she got out of life and of the combination of passion, commitment and fun which she brought to her work and to her life. I had the privilege of knowing Sarah for more than ten years - and knew from the off of her commitment to children, to ADCS and to the system - she was protective and fierce in pursuit of the interests of all of those. A little more slowly, I came to appreciate her love of life and capacity for friendship and fun - which were huge. I feel proud to call her a friend as well as a colleague. Sarah. It's a tragedy that you've gone so soon. You'll be hugely missed!
