“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 💪

Ever wondered what a Churchill Fellow actually is?

A Churchill Fellow is the name we give to someone who has received a Churchill Fellowship – funding to learn from people and organisations around the world and use that learning to create change in the UK.

Fellows come from all backgrounds and explore all kinds of issues, but they all start with an idea they care about and the passion to explore it further.

Ending women’s homelessness requires services that recognise how differently women experience it.

In her blog, Sarah Walters reflects on the lasting influence of her Churchill Fellowship and how her international learning helped inform a women-only hotel and support pathway for Crisis last Christmas.

What kind of learning will people need in a future shaped by generative AI? 🤖

Craig Steele is in Los Angeles as part of his Churchill Fellowship, exploring how generative AI can be taught through non-formal learning.

His visit has taken him to the Paramount Pictures studio lot, where he is meeting filmmakers, screenwriters, and other creative professionals to learn how they are experimenting with AI and what its development could mean for their work 🎬

One month to go! 📅

Churchill Fellowship applications open on 1 September.

Have an idea for creating change in an issue you care passionately about? ✨

This week, we’ve been highlighting the Fellowship programmes open for applications, including our new Civic and democratic engagement programme. Our programmes cover a wide range of issues, but your idea doesn’t need to fit neatly into one of them.

That’s where our Open option comes in. It welcomes ideas from any area, provided they have a clear public benefit and the potential to create positive change 💡

Whichever programme you apply for, a Churchill Fellowship can help you learn from people and projects around the world and turn your ideas into action in the UK 🌎
