In 2015 she set up No More Taboo, a social enterprise breaking the silence and changing the status quo. Since then she has worked with young people and people on low incomes in the UK, as well as communities in Uganda and Nepal to further investigate the challenges they face. She set up the No More Taboo online shop, selling reusable sanitary products and accessories, and has been joined by an amazing team of volunteers, advisors and supporters who have helped shape and develop No More Taboo.
Most notably in 2016, Alex Kmiecik joined the team as Chief Marketing Officer, helping to launch the Monthly Hugs subscription box and Shailini Vora as Tackling Period Poverty Director. Shai came on board as an intern to develop further her dissertation research, and ended up completing the first comprehensive research around homelessness and menstruation in the UK. Shai helped develop workshops, training and the period friendly scale to help meet some of the needs of vulnerable people that she identified.
In late 2017, Rebecca Hills and Holly Vandyke joined the team of Directors and helped to grow and develop the organisation, putting in place new systems and support to build a bigger, stronger team of volunteers and communicate our vision in a clear and concise way. Holly has helped us raise over £32,000 in grants in her role as Director of Fundraising and Development and took us to our first ever festival Shambala, with the Red Sea Travel Agency in 2018.
