House of Lords

In 2016 Mojay-Sinclare gave evidence to the House of Lords Select Committee on Charities, as an expert in digital technology and fundraising. During the evidence session, Mojay-Sinclare recommended introducing digital trustee roles in an effort to "bring a focus to digital" within the charity sector.[10]

Stardust Ashes

Stardust Ashes is a business founded in 2011 by Mojay-Sinclare following the scattering of his late grandmother's ashes into the atmostphere 20 miles above earth.[13][14] Mojay-Sinclare's inspiration for this was his earlier project, Spudnik,[15] which involved the launch and retrieval of a potato dressed as Santa Claus into near space.[16][17][18][19]

Stardust Ashes provides an environmentally-friendly method of scattering cremation ashes at over 100,000 ft above earth.[20]
