Rhiana Lakin (Assistant Manager)

Rhiana Lakin, Fundraiser Rhiana joined us at Headway Nottingham in 2014 after spending many years fundraising at a national level for the same cause. She works passionately and tirelessly to raise awareness about the long-term effects of brain injury and the work we do to support those people struggling to adjust to life after injury often spending her evenings and weekends at varied events and functions promoting our work. Hoorah!

The focus areas of her role include press and PR, business development and fundraising.

Outside of work, Rhiana is Mum to two boys which limits her spare time, however she manages to find the time to support sustainable living and animal welfare campaigns.
