What a wonderful day celebrating 114 Churchill Fellows at our Award Ceremony yesterday ✨

We were delighted to recognise Fellows who have reached an important moment in their Fellowship journey by publishing their reports and sharing their international learning.

The ceremony is a chance to celebrate not only what Fellows have achieved, but what comes next – as they continue to use their insights to shape change in their communities, sectors, and fields.

Congratulations to everyone who received their medallion. Your Fellowship is yours for life, and we look forward to seeing where it takes you next 🌍

How can supporting mothers help protect children from the trauma of domestic abuse?

For Churchill Fellow Ehinor Otaigbe MBE, lived experience, legal training, and years of grassroots work have shaped a clear mission: to help women leave abuse without fear or shame, while giving their children the chance to heal.

We spoke to Ehinor about her Fellowship learning from Atlanta, New York, and Nigeria, and how it is strengthening her work with African women, families, and communities in Greater Manchester.

“I began my Churchill Fellowship with a simple question: could shared housing be better?” 🏘️

Churchill Fellow Ella Hancock’s blog explores what cohousing can teach us about tackling homelessness and creating more inclusive, affordable housing.

Drawing on learning from the Netherlands, Sweden, and the USA, Ella reflects on how shared spaces and community-led housing could help create homes that offer not only shelter, but also security, choice, connection, and belonging.

“When a child is shivering, you don’t immediately file a report; you give them a coat.”

In his blog, Churchill Fellow Grant Trainer reflects on what he has learned in the USA about protecting and supporting children with experience of care.

From restorative justice in Seattle to community-led support in New York, Grant explores what it means to build systems around children that are relational, compassionate, and rooted in trust 💛
