Laura Coryton

Coryton's online petition successfully lobbied the UK Parliament into establishing the Tampon Tax Fund in 2016, through which almost £100m was donated to female-focused charities.

In the 2024 UK General Election, she stood as the Labour Party parliamentary candidate for Richmond Park.

For her work, she was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2024 New Year Honours for services to Charitable Campaigning.

Coryton then worked for Harper Collins when she wrote her book, before founding her social enterprise.

She is also an ambassador for The Eve Appeal, a British charity that raises awareness of and funds research into gynaecological cancers,[6] and founded the Homeless Period Project, a campaign to support homeless women's access to menstrual products.
