Shannon

Hello! I’m so proud to be volunteering with Pregnant Then Screwed. I was really lucky to feel supported by my employers through my three pregnancies, maternity leaves, and return to work – but seeing close friends face horrible experiences made me feel I couldn’t just sit by and watch so many working parents go through the same thing.
Alongside supporting the cause, I’m a TA Manager who has just finished my CIPD Level 5, so I’m excited to get stuck into more generalist HR topics to develop myself as a People Professional.
It’s great to be here, chatting with and supporting all our amazing callers!

Who we are

Our vision is a world where the mothers, parents and families of today and tomorrow thrive.
But the reality right now is mothers, parents and families are repeatedly failed by systems that are supposed to help them, systems which set up unfairness and disadvantage across a lifetime. This is the motherhood penalty, and Pregnant Then Screwed exists to challenge it.

Founded on International Women’s Day in 2015, we are rooted in lived experience and driven by fearless conviction. We challenge the systems that hold mothers back so that everyone who experiences motherhood can work and care without penalty. We campaign for change, offer support and advice, and build community with parents across the UK. We do this with power, courage and love.
