Created: 19/09/2024
News/Events Category: Funding and FinanceThe mission of the British Science Week Community Grant Scheme is to expand the audiences that engage with science and self-identify as having an interest in science by empowering and supporting community groups to run their own science activities during British Science Week.
The scheme offers grants for community groups that work directly with audiences who are traditionally under-represented and currently not engaged in science activity. This includes:
- People from ethnic minority backgrounds
- People living in communities which face deprivation
- People disadvantaged in terms of education and income

- People living in a remote and rural location, defined as settlements of less than 10,000 people
- Girls and women

- £500 grants to run one or more events during British Science Week
- up to £1000 grants to run one or more events during British Science Week, as well as follow-up activities that will lead to continued engagement after British Science Week
