Churchill Fellowship announce new programme
The Churchill Fellowship has announced a new programme entitled: ‘Building a Society that Cares – How might we reimagine a care-centred future for the UK?’
The programme is looking to find ways that care can be used to humanise services, build resilience and community connections, and reimagine societal challenges.
The Churchill Fellowship say:
“The programme will offer individuals the opportunity to take time out to learn from new ideas and practice overseas and to explore the many care-related questions that need answering.
For example, within care systems, how can we make care policies more effective? What are our long-term ambitions for care? To what extent are our care systems caring; and how do we ground such services in relationships rather than processes?
Outside the care system, what place does care have? How can we ensure care is foundational to our work in areas such as community, justice, housing, government, or education?”
The programme is open to people in a wide range of sectors, not just care, and the organisers are particularly interested in applications from unpaid carers.
The programme opens for applications from 2 September 2025 and closes on 4 November 2025. Applications will go through an assessment process before an announcement of the Fellowships in July 2026. The programme will initially run for three years, awarding up to ten Fellowships each year.
