Housing - The Churchill Fellowship

Housing

About this theme

This theme covers topics relating to new approaches to housing provision, design and opportunities for those excluded from the housing market. Many Fellows have undertaken projects addressing this over the years including as part of our recent programme of Fellowships on housing, developed in partnership with the National Housing Federation in 2016-2018.

Blogs & conversations Later living that makes the most of every moment

Amid growing pressures across housing, health, and care, Churchill Fellows Graham Russell and Oona Goldsworthy argue that the lessons from their Fellowships – integrated commissioning, mixed communities, and stronger collaboration – are needed more urgently than ever. They highlight how Brunelcare, the care charity they both work at, is beginning to apply these approaches, from reablement and redevelopment to community-focused work that aims to improve later living.

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.
