About this theme
This theme covers topics relating to the realisation of a more equitable, diverse and inclusive society for people from minoritised racial groups. It is an area of enduring interest that runs throughout our grantmaking. Fellows’ stories
We spoke to Natasha Cox about how her Churchill Fellowship helped shape the next stage of Actively SeeK.I.N.G, the CIC she founded to support Black boys through creative arts. Drawing on learning from schools in the USA, Ghana, and the Caribbean, Natasha has launched the House of K.I.N.G.s Saturday School. She reflects on how the Fellowship deepened her work, opened new doors, and helped turn her research into practical support for young people in East London.
