Five Years ago, today, Katie started working at Happy Mums on a 7-month Admin Assistant contract. She soon became the glue that holds everything together and has progressed to operations manager.<\/p>\n
The one who knows where that file is, where we should be when and, of course, who all the little ones run to!<\/p>\n
Being open about mental health struggles isn\u2019t easy, Katie is quietly open about her journey with anxiety, relating to mums and volunteers through welcome emails and supporting at groups as a group helper.<\/p>\n
She is absolutely instrumental in keeping everything running smoothly \u2013 here\u2019s to another 7 month contract (AKA 5 years)!<\/p>\n

\u2018Thank you Katie, I genuinely don\u2019t know where Happy Mums would be without you. You are a huge support not just to all our mums but to me as well, keeping me going, reminding me to take a break.
