Sarah Peacock - Mark Williams Foundation

After founder Nicola Williams' husband Mark passed away, Sarah became the driving force behind turning grief into The Mark Williams Foundation. In under a year, and as the only employee, she has raised over £170,000, built robust governance, forged high-impact partnerships, and delivered programmes supporting fathers fighting for access to their children and nurturing youth entrepreneurship. Trustees, partners, beneficiaries, and volunteers all praise her resilience, compassion, strategic leadership, and relentless work ethic. Sarah has already changed lives across Scotland, embodying the Foundation’s values and helping to ensure Mark’s legacy not only lives on, but actively transforms futures.
