My life as a charity fundraiser started 20 years ago following the birth of my youngest daughter, who has Downs Syndrome. Finding there was very little support for families I joined 3 other mums to start a charity to support people who have Down’s Syndrome and their families. My daughter was also later diagnosed with autism and I have been working ever since to ensure she is safe and well cared for.
For the last 10 years I have been a Fundraising Manager at Liverpool Women’s Hospital; until I saw the advert at Autism Together. Having fought all my daughter’s life for appropriate and quality services, I knew Autism Together was the place for me, and I was right!
I am astounded at the amazing work that goes on at Autism Together and look forward to spending many years as part of the team.
Starting in the Admin team, moving to the Children and Families for a few years and finally settling in Fundraising!
I have been involved in the charity since I was a baby, my mother has worked here for over 25 years, living just around the corner from the Raby site … it’s in my blood!
My role now is Community Fundraising Officer – I organise fundraising events like the summer fun day and Christmas markets, I work with local schools running fundraising and autism awareness sessions and pop up stalls at shopping centres and community events. Another part of my job is liaising with all our fabulous fundraisers, ensuring they are fully prepared and each receive a timely and heartfelt thank you. I have lots of ideas and keen to help others achieve theirs from bake sales, bingo nights, marathons and sky diving – anything is possible!
