Blogs & conversations Health, Homelessness, and Hope: Children in Temporary Accommodation

Monica Lakhanpaul’s Fellowship took her to Australia to explore how different systems respond to the health and wellbeing needs of children living in temporary accommodation. Back in the UK, her work has already helped launch the In Their Own Words report in the Scottish Parliament and continues through research, media, and international collaborations. She now hopes to build on this momentum to ensure that children’s voices are heard – and acted upon – in shaping a fairer future.

Blogs & conversations Where the Churchill Fellowship magic happens

Tim Woodhouse travelled to Iceland, Slovenia, and the USA to explore how to reduce domestic abuse-related suicides. Here, he reflects not only on the people and projects he encountered during his travels, but on the impact that followed – from giving over 100 talks to frontline teams and securing national media coverage, to influencing policy discussions and beginning a PhD. As Tim writes, “the years after you return home is actually where the power of the Churchill Fellowship can kick in – and where all the magic can happen.”
