Blogs & conversations From Wonder to Well-Being: Exploring the Power of Scent
What began as a creative experiment at Central Saint Martins has evolved into a wearable scent technology designed to support mental wellbeing. My Churchill Fellowship enabled me to explore how sensory fashion could be used to manage stress – learning that now underpins the development of Scent Bubble®, supported by NHS innovation partners and recently featured at London Fashion Week.

Blogs & conversations Celebrating World Book Day
This World Book Day, we’re celebrating the power of books to share knowledge, spark ideas, and inform understanding—something that Churchill Fellows do across every sector. From science education and sustainable fashion to grief and wellbeing, many Fellows have written, published, and been featured in books that bring fresh perspectives to some of the UK’s most pressing issues. Whether exploring solutions to global challenges or sharing personal stories, their books are one of the ways they create impact, translating their learning into action.
