Making the case for a national eating disorders strategy

Stephen Watkins reflects on how his Fellowship helped strengthen the case for a national eating disorders strategy in the UK. Drawing on learning from Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden, he explores how nationally coordinated approaches can improve access to care and outcomes for people and families affected by eating disorders. Since returning, Stephen has shared his findings with ministers, policymakers, providers, and service user and carer organisations, helping to inform emerging national guidance on eating disorder support.

Power shapes everything. So why don’t we understand it better?

Suzanne Alleyne reflects on how her Churchill Fellowship helped deepen her understanding of power and its effects on how we think, feel, and behave. Drawing on learning from South Africa and Canada, she explores the connections between neuroscience, lived experience, art, and organisational practice. Suzanne shares how this learning continues to shape her work, and why understanding power can help people build agency, make better decisions, and create conditions in which more people can thrive.
