Biography
Sibyl Fine-King is Director of the Fine Family Foundation which supports Dorset-based charitable bodies working in the environment, the arts, education and health, and also in community projects. She is a longstanding Dorset resident but hails originally from Pittsburgh in the United States. Sibyl took a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Business at Washington University, St. Louis, and then a Masters in Health and Fitness Management at American University in Washington DC. Her Masters course included a work experience placement and she took it in Dorset with the NHS. She had no previous link with this county, but she loved the landscape and the people, and - in her own words - she ‘didn’t want to go home’. So in 1986 she took a job in Dorchester, still with the NHS, as a Health Promotion Manager, and during the next ten years she created a package of health screening and advice for use in GPs’ surgeries, and rolled it out across the county.
