Volunteer Spotlight- Millie

This month, we've welcomed a new Marketing and Communications Volunteer to the team!

'Hi, my name is Millie Mangham. I am from a small town in the West Midlands called Shrewsbury.  I am currently going into my second year at the University of Leeds studying Business Management with Marketing. My time in Leeds so far has been very enlightening and has allowed me to understand more about myself whilst further broadening my passion for marketing. Within my course, I have learnt the more technical side of marketing. However, during my time at Leeds Mencap I am excited to gain more hands-on experience in the industry and showcase my skills in any way I can.

Ever since I was a child, I have always had a unique interest for marketing and the different ways consumers behave. I want to put this into practice and help Leeds Mencap in any way I can grow into a more recognisable charity. I have previously worked with charities such as Self-Help Africa raising money for less fortunate children in underdeveloped countries. This experience sparked my interest in charities as I could see how much impact a small gesture can make. This led me to join Leeds Mencap as I feel their charity values and beliefs are extremely admirable.

I have always had a keen interest in sports from a young age – I wish to continue this passion for the future hoping to pursue a career in sports marketing. I am an active member of the University of Leeds Women’s Hockey Society where I was previously appointed captain of my team in my first year of university. I have now been given the opportunity of publicity secretary going into my second year. I am hoping my experience with Leeds Mencap provides me with insightful knowledge and experience, allowing me to relay my understanding for any future opportunities.

I am eager to continue to develop my marketing and creativity skills with Leeds Mencap by creating new content and material for their socials and continue to network further.'
