Based in London, she will oversee NO MORE’s day-to-day operations and manage key projects and initiatives with the organization’s corporate partners. 

Dearlove joins NO MORE from Hestia, a leading London-based organization providing support for those experiencing domestic abuse, modern slavery and mental health needs.

In prior positions at Hestia and SBHG, she managed trauma-informed domestic abuse services, such as Refuges, Independent domestic abuse services (IDVA), community-based specialist domestic abuse services and special services for children. She brings to NO MORE a passion for ensuring that the voices of those with lived experience are raised and heard.
