Alex Gillespie
Fundraising Manager
I started with SMILE in 2020 with very little idea what to do with my life but I quickly realised that this is what I wanted to do! Having a career where I can work with amazing and down to earth colleagues, speak to all different kinds of people learning their stories and raise money for incredible causes sealed the deal for me!
Management team were always supportive of me from day 1 and because of that I am one of the top scorers in the company and have a career already set in motion, which is something not a lot of people my age get!
Extremely excited to see what the future holds!

Rainbows Children’s Hospice. Families having to be in that situation is one of the worst things imaginable and Rainbows are incredible at allowing the children to enjoy what time they have left not just for their sake but the families too.
The fact I’m representing them means a lot to me
