Spread a Smile is delighted to welcome Nicci Dennis, who joins the team as Executive Assistant to Lucy Jackson and Office Manager. We spoke to Nicci about her background in the charity sector, and what she’s most looking forward to in her new role at Spread a Smile. Here’s what she had to say:
“I’ve worked in PA and EA roles for almost three decades across a variety of industries, but in 2020 I made the move into the charity sector when I joined Anthony Nolan – an organisation that saves and improves the lives of people with blood cancer and blood disorders, and holds the UK’s largest stem cell register.
“Shifting into the charity world felt like a natural step that aligned with my personal values. I love knowing that the work I contribute has real meaning and impact. Fundraising has long been a passion of mine; I’ve completed the London Marathon, the London to Brighton Bike Ride and regularly took part in the 5K Swimathon, alongside my two daughters.
“Joining the Spread a Smile team as EA and Office Manager has already exceeded my expectations. The energy and passion here is contagious, and I’ve been welcomed so warmly by everyone. I’ve had the privilege of attending a Spread a Smile Family Event already and it was incredible to see the team in action, watching children laugh and play, and hearing parents share how much the charity means to them was truly inspiring. Supporting CEO Lucy Jackson and the wider team, I am excited to use my organisational expertise to help drive the charity’s mission forward.”
