We have just launched a new initiative inviting alumni to host small, informal gatherings in their city or region.

If you organise a local social, the Laidlaw Foundation can support you with:
📣 Promotion through Laidlaw channels to help ensure a strong turnout
🚀 Guidance on planning and logistics
🌱 Microgrants of up to £500/$700 to remove financial barriers

Local socials are a great way to strengthen the Laidlaw Alumni community in your area, and an opportunity to develop your leadership skills.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish there was a Laidlaw Alumni event in my city,” this is your opportunity to make it happen.

Hello! I am a multidisciplinary designer and have been with the Laidlaw Foundation for over five years, working to strengthen our global Scholar community and amplify the impact of our programmes.

My work lives somewhere between design, education, and anthropology, usually with sticky notes involved. I studied Human Sciences as an undergrad and recently finished a Master’s in Anthropology, both at UCL. 

I am your go-to person for questions regarding alumni engagement and the Laidlaw Scholars Advisory Board.

Born and raised in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Outside of work? Probably in the ceramics studio or a yoga class. Big fan of nature and very small bugs.
