Introducing Our 2026 Churchill Fellows
We’re proud to introduce 109 new Churchill Fellows for 2026.
At a time when fresh thinking and practical action are so important, these remarkable individuals demonstrate the power of looking outwards. They come from across the UK, bringing different backgrounds, ages, experiences, professions, and ideas – united by a drive to make a difference.
This year’s Fellowship projects span some of the most pressing issues facing society, from tackling social media harm and creating climate-friendly school canteens to strengthening dementia care in rural communities.
To explore these issues, Fellows will connect and exchange ideas with innovators around the world, travelling to countries including Greenland, Taiwan, New Zealand, Argentina, South Africa, and Jamaica. Through these international connections, they will gather practical ideas and build networks that can help improve communities, services, and policy across the UK.
We’re proud to support them as they begin their Fellowship journeys and look forward to seeing how they turn their global learning into lasting change.
