Blogs & conversations In conversation with: Mark Brookes – shining a spotlight on disability hate crime

We spoke to Churchill Fellow Dr Mark Brookes, advocacy lead at Dimensions, who will soon travel to the USA for his Fellowship, where he will share his insights on hate crime reporting and its connection to learning disabilities. With over 20 years of advocacy experience, Mark emphasises the challenges individuals with learning disabilities face when reporting hate crimes and highlights the significant achievements his work has led to, as well as his hopes for improving hate crime reporting and outcomes for disabled individuals in the UK.

Blogs & conversations Finding hope for the long-haul

In the early hours of 14 June 2017, I was awoken by the sirens and looked out of my bedroom window to see Grenfell Tower ablaze. Even on that day I knew that our lives had changed forever. As a local resident and Church Worker at Latymer Community Church situated in the shadow of the Tower I was deeply affected by the fire. As the months turned to years, I felt that we desperately needed hope for the long haul and so I applied for a Churchill Fellowship.
