Meet the Team
Directors
Sarah Murray
Director
Sarah has worked with children for over 20 years in many different homes both local authority and private.
Throughout this time Sarah has seen some great examples of progress and outcomes for children, but also some poor examples of care given which made her want to fight harder to give children the best chance possible to thrive and have positive experiences.
This pushed Sarah to open her own company as she knew that she could provide care for children that exceeds this expectation.
Sarah has strived for a high standards of nurturing and loving care for children and only having people in the company who fits into the Ethos and is able to deliver this care.
Paul Beaumont
Director
Myself and Sarah set up Safe Haven ACG Ltd in late 2019 just before the global challenges of the covid pandemic hit us all.
I have been in business as a Company Director for the past 19 years and before this I was running my own businesses. I was the national sales Manager for a large plc company reporting directly to the CEO and the board of Directors.
Through my career I have gained a vast knowledge of both business and management and I use this skill set to bring Safe Haven ACG Ltd to the forefront of what is now acknowledged as a premium loving care company with Ofsted ratings of good and outstanding in all areas within the homes.
My vision for Safe Haven is very clear, and that is with the help and guidance of our very driven team we will continue to provide the very best loving care for our children and become big enough to matter yet still small enough to care.
Senior Managers
Polly Hawnt
Blossom Home Manager / Service Manager
I have worked in residential child care for over 5 years and I am passionate about supporting looked after children to achieve their goals and progress in life to achieve. I enjoy providing a home for children and most importantly a place they can feel safe and cared for - this is Phoenix House.
I am the proud owner of a therapy dog called Strudel. Strudel comes to Phoenix House with me every day and enjoys her role in the home. I love skiing and I used to live in the French alps for a time in my life.
Stacy Geddes
The Meadows & Lilypad Lodge Dual Registered Senior Manager
I began my career in this field as a foster carer specialising in sibling groups and complex needs. I was a foster carer for 3 years, during this time I developed a professional curiosity around residential care and understanding this further, so began working in residential care alongside being a foster carer.
I began working in residential children's homes four years ago. I have spent this time working in both emotional and behaviour difficulties homes and learning difficulties homes and supported children with varied support needs.
I have trained in PACE, attachment and DDP with clinical psychologist Kim Golding CBE and found this Invaluable in the way in which I approach the care we provide for our children.
It is important for me to be able to support children who are not able to be with their family at this time, but provide somewhere they feel safe and cared for and are supported to thrive and not just survive. To understand they have people surrounding them who will support and encourage them to be the best version of them self they can be.
I have 4 amazing dogs and in my spare time I often spend a lot of time taking them for walks and teaching them new tricks. I also enjoy going to the cinema, bowling and watching football.
Homes Managers
Heather Wright - Foxglove Acting Manager
Heather has looked after children living in children’s homes for nearly 7 years and has loved every minute, but her passion for doing her part in striving for positive outcomes for children started long before that. Heather’s family have been foster carers for over 60 years and in that time she has seen the impact a safe, trustworthy, reliable adult can have on a child who has experienced harm and is dedicated to being that for the children she cares for. Heather’s goal is to create a homely, comforting environment for children where they feel able to process their trauma and can recognise how truly special they are following the Lovin’ Care approach.
Heather has completed PACE, social pedagogy and therapeutic crisis intervention training and is passionate about continuing her development to be in the best position to support her children.
Heather’s affinity for protecting children who need a safe adult extends to animals too and in her time she has rescued cats, dogs, lizards, rats, fish and even stick insects!
Stacy Barnes - Blossom Manager
I have been working with children for over 4 years and have completed my level 3 diploma. I am currently completing my level 5 in Leadership & Management. I have worked at Safe Haven for over 2 years and during this time I have worked as a Therapeutic Leader and a Deputy Manager, gaining experience working across different homes in the company.
I love meeting new children, getting to know them and building really strong connections with them to make them feel loved and cared for. I am extremely child focused and always go above and beyond for the children I support.
I spend my time away from my role, with my family enjoying adventures together. I love animals and I have a dog and a cat. I bring my dog to see the children sometimes and they love spending time with them.
