Emergency response

About this theme

This theme covers topics relating to encouraging innovation in the management of public emergencies of all kinds, from prevention to response and post-crisis recovery. Many Fellows have undertaken projects addressing this over the years including via our recent programme of Fellowships on emergency response which ran during 2019-2020.

Blogs & conversations Finding hope for the long-haul

In the early hours of 14 June 2017, I was awoken by the sirens and looked out of my bedroom window to see Grenfell Tower ablaze. Even on that day I knew that our lives had changed forever. As a local resident and Church Worker at Latymer Community Church situated in the shadow of the Tower I was deeply affected by the fire. As the months turned to years, I felt that we desperately needed hope for the long haul and so I applied for a Churchill Fellowship.
