What People Say About Me

“Emily brings a clarity of vision and passion for equity that inspires others. Working with her to shape a research proposal and bring together a cross-sector advisory group was a pleasure. Emily is open to challenge, and incredibly knowledgeable in her areas of expertise, which gives confidence to others and helps foster a truly collaborative environment. Her ability to bring others on a journey leads to productive workshops and discussions, that focus on action and next steps. I would not hesitate to work with Emily again.”

Selected Projects

The Greater London Authority's logo
The STOPAIDS campaign's logo

I worked with the Greater London Authority to bring together learning from the multi-year, multi-million pound Civil Society Roots Programme, aiming to build more equitable civic infrastracture across London. I produced a learning report for the iniative and mapped change within ten London boroughs where community-led organisations had received investment.

I evaluated the last five years of STOPAIDS global collaborative advocacy focused on increasing representation and resourcing for communities affected by HIV in UK government and global multi-lateral decision-making. I applied a systems change lens and used Outcome Mapping and Stories of Most Significant Change, working closely with the team to develop the approach and intepret the findings.

Gendered Intelligence's logo

I worked with the Chair of Gendered Intelligence, a national UK charity working to improve trans lives, to develop their governance approach. This included a workshop with the board and a formal review using the UK Charity Governance Code. I produced a report and model for governance that met best practice and aligned with the charity's values to support diverse lived experience leadership.

In Kind Direct's logo

I worked with the UK national charity In Kind Direct and global company, Essity, to create the UK's first Status of Period Equity Report. I worked closely with the team to develop the proposal for the work, bring together and facilitate a cross sector advisory group and launch the report.

Irise International's logo

I secured funding for and commissioned the first Global Menstrual Justice report whilst I was CEO at Irise. The report was co-produced with a global advisory group and grassroots activists around the world.

Plan International logo

I worked with Plan International UK to produce the Period Proud Peer Programme and Resource. I brought together community based organisations and diverse young people to co-produce the content and wrote the final resource and guidance for organisations. 

Modibodi's logo

Whilst I was CEO at Irise I worked with the global brand, Modibodi, to co-create the Every Period Counts campaign with 60 young people from 10 groups around the UK. The campaign was backed by 17 charities including Girl Guiding UK and Plan International UK and the media coverage reached 791 million people. As a result the UK's Department for Education improved their menstrual health support for schools and now host regular roundtables with young people about their experiences.
