Zoe Smith, Support & Outreach Co-ordinator - North of England

Zoe joined the AA Community when she was diagnosed in November 2020 and received HATG treatment in Leeds in April 2021.  Zoe is new to the team and started as a volunteer in 2022. 

Zoe worked previously as a Pastoral Manger in a large primary school in Leeds delivering bespoke packages of support to children and families who had social, emotional and mental health needs. Zoe is now keen to work with the charity to support children and families who are affected by aplastic anaemia.  Zoe lives in Leeds with her husband and two teenage sons Harvey and Kyle. 

Zoe has a passion for running and has previously run two London Marathons. She has now joined back as a beginner with her local running club to restart her running journey.  Zoe enjoys raising awareness of aplastic anaemia through fundraising events and loves meeting new people.
