“I would never have got to this stage without the Fellowship; it has been transformational because it gave me time and has opened doors.” 💫
We spoke to Churchill Fellow Melvin Hartley about his Fellowship on spontaneous volunteering and how he put his learning into practice almost immediately during the Covid pandemic.
His work has since supported the development of Hampshire Young People’s Emergency Response, showing how young people can play an active role in helping communities respond to emergencies 💪
