Ella Hancock reflects on how her Fellowship explored whether shared housing could offer more choice, dignity, and belonging for people at risk of homelessness. Drawing on visits to cohousing communities in the Netherlands, Sweden, and the US, she shares how shared spaces, community-led models, and resident agency can help reduce isolation and create more supportive places to live. As the housing crisis deepens, Ella argues that the strongest ideas from cohousing could help shape more affordable, inclusive housing in the UK.

Through her Fellowship, Daria explored how civic space can remain resilient when people’s ability to question, organise, and participate comes under pressure. Focusing on Central Asia, she examined how critical thinking, art, and positive narratives can help people practise “oppositional muscle” and imagine more open democratic futures. Published to mark International Day of Democracy, the blog reflects on why protecting civic voice matters in the UK and around the world.

Through the first leg of his Fellowship in the USA, Grant Trainer explored what it means to protect and support children with experience of care. Drawing on learning from organisations in Albany, New York City, Brooklyn, and Seattle, he reflects on approaches that place children’s identity, dignity, and relationships at the heart of protection. He is now bringing this learning back to Scotland, where it is shaping his research into policing, care experience, and trauma-informed support, ahead of the next stage of his Fellowship in New Zealand.
