Rali was born in a small town in Bulgaria near the Black Sea. After school she qualified as a dental technician and then undertook further study to become a nurse.

Rali came to the UK in 2002 and took on the position of care assistant in Devizes. In 2009 she joined Pilgrims’ Friend Society at Leonora Home (now closed) as a care team leader. In 2019 she completed a diploma in Health & Social Care. When Middlefields House opened in August 2021 she was promoted to Deputy Manager and then to Registered Care Manager.

Rali has two children, a daughter and a son. She became a Christian as a teenager in Bulgaria and helped with Sunday School with her husband (at that time only a friend), organising activities and teaching the Bible to children who were living in poorer communities.

Sarah's experiences within the education and financial sectors, in positions such as business manager, project manager, operational administrator, and training and competency manager, have given her a deep understanding of valuing and investing in people but guided by godly principles. Having devoted the past seven years to caring for her parents before their recent passing due to dementia, she views it as an honour to utilise her skills to support and develop the team while contributing to the growth of the business at Middlefields.

She is a wife and a mother of two adult children.

With over three years of experience as a care assistant at Middlefields House and a background in catering, Ana brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to her new position. Her passion for both people and food is evident, and she is eager to share and grow in her faith. Ana is excited to introduce the famous Portuguese custard tart, pastel de nata, to the menu.
