Join us to support people-led change across the UK.
The Churchill Fellowship is a community of changemakers whose mission is to learn from the world and transform lives across the UK.
We support outstanding individuals pursuing their own vision for change in an issue where they have first-hand experience. They are driven by a personal commitment to tackle today’s key issues, to develop new solutions for their communities and sectors, and to exchange ideas throughout the UK and beyond. They work across all of today’s most pressing challenges, from protecting the environment to preventing domestic abuse, from increasing youth employment to enriching urban spaces and much more.
Collectively, they create change that reaches across the country. Every year we select over 100 new Fellows and fund them to spend up to two months discovering new approaches around the world for practical issues they care passionately about. Fellowships cover every aspect of UK life because our approach is universal, responsive and inclusive. We respond to emerging trends and challenges and our Fellowships are open to all UK adults regardless of qualifications, background or age. Fellows propose their own programmes of research and action and bring their lived or learned experience of their chosen subject.
We believe in the power and potential of individuals and prioritise people and topics that would not be funded elsewhere.
This inclusive approach gives the Fellowship a unique range and authority and has created a powerful model for change, based on real needs, frontline insight and personal dedication. It offers dynamic individuals the recognition, funding and support to pursue what is often their mission of a lifetime.
The Fellowship was created by public subscription in 1965 as the living legacy of Sir Winston Churchill. Since then we have made almost 6000 grants to inspiring individuals who possess the passion and commitment to make a real difference. Many Fellows become knowledge leaders and influencers for the long term and continue to feel the beneficial effects of the Fellowship decades after being awarded.
The Churchill Fellowship is a community of changemakers whose mission is to learn from the world and transform lives across the UK.
The Activate Fund:
For 60 years, the Churchill Fellowship has been supporting remarkable individuals to source solutions from around the world to tackle critical issues affecting communities in the UK.

With the end of bear bile farming in Vietnam now within reach, Animals Asia is entering an exciting new phase – expanding sanctuary capacity, entering new markets, and securing long-term care for every rescued bear.
Animals Asia has spent over 25 years working to end cruelty and restore respect for animals across Asia. With teams in Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, the UK, and beyond, they combine advocacy, direct rescue, and sanctuary care to create systemic change. Their mission to end bear bile farming – arguably the world’s cruelest form of animal abuse – is almost complete. In November 2023, they opened their third bear sanctuary which will enable them to bring home every last bear and achieve their founding goal in Vietnam by the end of 2026.

As Trusts and Foundations Manager, you will:
- Manage and grow a global portfolio of 5- and 6-figure funders, including multi-year partnerships
- Develop compelling, tailored funding proposals and impact reports, often for donors with limited direct project access
- Deliver high-quality stewardship, with regular updates and relationship-building through video, email, and occasional travel
- Collaborate with colleagues across the organisation to develop powerful cases for support
- Lead on identifying and cultivating new prospective donors through research, network mapping, and strategy input
- Use CRM systems to manage pipelines and track communications effectively
- Support the Global Director of Partnerships and work closely with a peer Trusts and Foundations Manager
- Contribute to delivering the team’s $1.3m target and future growth ambitions
Ideal skills and experience:
- Proven success securing 5-figure+ grants from global trusts and foundations
- Strong written skills, with experience tailoring proposals to global funders and funder motivations
- A confident relationship-builder, who is able to do so remotely and across time zones and cultures
- Highly self-organised, independent, and comfortable managing deadlines and priorities
- Strong understanding of CRM systems and income tracking
- Familiar with the complexities of fundraising for work in Asia or global programme delivery
- Alignment with the mission and values of Animals Asia; sector experience in animal welfare, conservation, or international development is welcome.
