'Sally Becker partly redeemed the good name of Western Europe by the heroic work that she carried out in Bosnia at the height of the war.' Tom Gallagher Professor of the study of Ethnic Conflict and Peace at the Department of Peace studies at Bradford University.

Moved by the images of suffering, Sally Becker set off to the war torn region of Bosnia-Herzegovina determined to try and help. The country was in the midst of civil war and Croats and Muslims were fighting for control of Mostar, a city which had once been a popular tourist destination. 50,000 people were trapped on the east side of the city, crammed into an area just twenty miles long. There was no electricity and very little food and the area was constantly targeted by snipers and rocket propelled grenades. No one could get in or out and people were dying for want of the most basic medical supplies.
In July 2012 Sally carried the Olympic flag for Peace and Justice alongside Mohammed Ali and Ban Ki-moon at the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympic Games.
Sally is a Goodwill Ambassador for Children of Peace and Patron of Faith Matters. In November 2014, she founded Road to Peace helping sick and injured children in areas of conflict. In 2016 the charity became known as Save a Child.
Sally is a renowned speaker drawing upon her own experiences to show that through determination, courage and initiative anything is possible.
