Jennifer Acton
Operations and Marketing Manager
Jen brings a wealth of experience to the Long Covid Kids team with her extensive background in global marketing and managing teams across various industries. She is responsible for overseeing all of the charity's marketing activities and operations, working closely with a team of dedicated volunteers.
After completing her studies at Manchester Met University, Jen embarked on a round-the-world trip that sparked her love for travel and adventure. She now resides in Sussex with her husband, whom she met while travelling, and their two children.
While Jen herself does not have Long Covid, she has a deep understanding of the challenges that individuals with chronic illnesses face. She grew up in a household where her father suffered from ME, a chronic illness that doctors at the time knew very little about.
Jen is a passionate and dedicated member of the team, committed to making a difference in the lives of those affected by Long Covid.
