About this theme
This theme covers all aspects of the functioning and services of the state, including public services, governance and political processes, rule of law and international relations. It is one of the eight universal themes which form our grantmaking framework and allow us to address every aspect of society. Fellows’ stories
We spoke to Churchill Fellow Cath Snow, survivor advocate at APPEAL, about her upcoming Fellowship to the USA. Her project explores how the UK’s approach to exonerees could be enriched by learning from American innocence networks. She’ll meet exonerees and grassroots organisations to understand how the UK could better support survivors of miscarriages of justice – not just at the point of release, but as they rebuild their lives.
