Sheila McKechnie Foundation

The Sheila McKechnie Foundation has been established to support the development of the next generation of campaigners. We believe that politics and society are enriched by the contributions of those at grassroots, regional and national levels within the UK who question, unearth injustice and strive to change things for the better.
