Last week, we welcomed our 2026 Churchill Fellows to London for Connect & Inspire, their first in-person gathering as a cohort and the starting point for their Fellowship journey.
On 3 July 2026, Churchill Fellows from our Children and Young People in Care programme came together at the Coram Campus in London for an afternoon of conversation, connection, and shared learning.
We spoke to Natasha Cox about how her Churchill Fellowship helped shape the next stage of Actively SeeK.I.N.G, the CIC she founded to support Black boys through creative arts. Drawing on learning from schools in the USA, Ghana, and the Caribbean, Natasha has launched the House of K.I.N.G.s Saturday School. She reflects on how the Fellowship deepened her work, opened new doors, and helped turn her research into practical support for young people in East London.
