Meet Our Chief Interceptor: Sarah Betts

Today we'd like to introduce you to a key member of TRJFPB team - Sarah Betts! 

Sarah Betts has been interested in environmental issues since being a teenager, having dipped her toes into a direct action protest at Faslane Peace Camp. She did a 'Building Sustainable Communities' Course with Brighton Permaculture Trust and went on to gain a Diploma in Environment and Development with the Open University. She has contributed to her own community as her children have been growing up and Sarah believes the change she wants to see must begin at a local level before trying to change the world. Sarah is an anarchist at heart and hates the current political system and the way they tell us to live our lives. When asked what her favourite quote is, Sarah replied: "My favourite quote is 'Freedom is a road seldom travelled' - I find my freedom in the things I choose to do with my life!"
