Joining Vicky on stage will be the host of the evening, Mark Dennison. As part of the evening’s proceedings, Mark will run a Q&A with Vicky, discussing everything form the mental health programmes at Notts County Foundation to her own connection with the wider-Notts communities.

Vicky is a passionate Notts County Football Club fan, with her grandad being as big of a fan as they get. Many of the fanbase will also remember Vicky’s viral celebration, as she watched the Magpies score the winning penalty to land the club back in League Two, during the 2022/23 season.

‘’Having a guest who is inspirational, motivational and understands the importance of our fundraiser was a must for the Gala Dinner. When we reached out to Vicky, we were met with plenty of enthusiasm and knew immediately how well Vicky would fit into our plans.

We’re grateful to Vicky for giving up her time to further strengthen her connections back with Notts County and I am sure many guests will be thrilled to have her join them… making the occasion even more memorable’’. – Sam Crawford | Chief Financial Officer, Notts County Foundation

Those that attended last year’s NCF Gala will remember Vicky’s Dementia choir performed and shared their heart-warming stories. Dementia awareness is a cause very close to Vicky’s heart, after her grandmother was diagnosed and later died from the disease. Whilst the choir won’t be in attendance in 2024, Notts County Foundation are excited and honoured to welcome Vicky to the Bolero Suite in October.

Don’t miss your opportunity to hear from Vicky and meet her at Notts County Foundation’s prestigious and flagship fundraiser of the year.
