Hello,
My name is Chronically Jenni
Natalie founded Hidden Disabilities Charity in August 2023 as a result of her daughter developing a chronic illness called POTS and becoming aware of the lack of understanding and support for those struggling with hidden disabilities. Having lived experience as a carer, plus losing friends and other family members to chronic health conditions throughout the decades made Natalie feel determined to try to help make a change.
She feels her past experiences have lead her to this moment and is passionate about creating awareness, a supportive friendly inclusive community, plus sharing helpful resources and accessible opportunities. Previously chair of Women in Business for 3 years, organising activities and running virtual events throughout the covid pandemic, being a business owner and event organiser for the Women of Achievement awards 2022 she felt she had picked up the tools that could help make an impact to this sector. For Natalie, ultimately, it is all about non judgement, just be kind, learn to understand, support and make the world fair and inclusive.
