Shauna has worked in senior management roles in the charity sector for more than ten years. She is also a human rights lawyer, a successful campaigner and strategist, but her most important role is mum to boy/girl twins.

Emma moved here from Australia in 2001, making England her home with her husband and three children.  She has worked at Twins Trust since 2016, but for the past 16 years she has both worked and volunteered supporting parents through children's charities and is a big supporter of her local community.

Rafi has dedicated his career to communications and marketing within the charity sector. He’s worked in the UK and overseas for causes ranging from children to animals to international development. He places stories at the heart of all communications and his two little children are at the heart of his personal story.

I’ve been working with families my whole career - over 25 years. I completed my NNEB training after leaving school and worked in the childcare sector at a Day Nursery and then as a Private Nanny before moving to work in the charity sector as a Family Support Worker where I continued my training and development. I have worked with hundreds of families in need and crisis and facilitated many parenting workshops and courses. I then became a mum myself in 2010 and have three daughters (including twins) which inspired me to continue my work with families and offer support where needed.

I joined Twins Trust in 2013 when my twins were 10 months old as the Twinline Coordinator.  I have a passion for empowering and developing people which is why I love working here and working with all our volunteers who give their time to us to support the thousands of families each year. 

I am now Co-Head of the Family Services team with Helen Regan. Between us we manage all of Twins Trust support services. The team I manage look after Bereavement Support Service, Twinline, Professional Referral Service, Courses, Clubs, Online Communities and Breastfeeding Peer support Service. 

Prior to having twins, my career was in retail management, setting me up with important life skills such as being (overtly borderline obsessively) organised, a skilled project planner (nothing is left to chance) and having a sense of humour when nothing is going to plan, all of which came into their own when my boy / girl twins were born in 2010.

Having no local family support when my own children were born, I’m all too aware of how hard it can be some days and how challenging it is to get through a day when everything feels just too much. I learnt to stop being stubborn and to take the help which was offered by anyone - in the supermarket, at a playgroup or the park. This made a huge difference and those days were the better days!

I joined Twins Trust in 2014 as the admin support to the Family Crisis Support service. Being able to understand and help families going through the most challenging times in their lives has been incredibly humbling and rewarding. I oversee the Family Crisis service, which I’m proud to say has helped hundreds of families since its launch in 2012, along with being Co-Head of the Family Services team with Louise Bowman.
