At the time of its launch, the charity provided aid for NHS, care home and hospice staff by delivering more than 150,000 items, including food, masks, scrubs, and toiletries. [1] Organisations such as Under One Sky and NOAH Enterprise have helped the foundation by giving sleeping bags to homeless people in the UK. Essentials and supplies have also been sent to Ghana. [2]

In March 2022, Sarah travelled to Poland amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine to meet with Ukrainian refugees and help her charity the Sarah's Trust in organising goods donated by UK citizens. [3] In July 2022, the charity secured money to fund £14,000-worth of computers for Ukrainian refugees in Poland. [4] She also helped with setting up the 'Play in a Box' tent in Upper Silesia to host refugee children for reading, playing, and baking. [4]

In 2023, Sarah's Trust supported St Matthew's Church, Burnley. The charity provided community support via gift bags, funding food projects, and sponsoring a pantomime outing for local families. [5]
