We're planning how to make the best use of the funds to support and inspire the next generation of STEM pioneers, and we're committed to making as many of our family activities free as possible. If you'd like to be the first to hear about all the family fun, make sure you're on our mailing list!

We set an ambitious target of £7500, which we didn't quite reach - but thanks to 70 generous donors we raised over 75%! We know the cost of living has hit hard, so we hugely appreciate every single donation and message of support; a big thank you to all 70 of you for trusting us with your donation.

PS - right now we're just £450 away from £4000 - so a donation of £225 would push us past our next milestone...

From one of our visitors: "My daughters always pictured museums as big places like the ones in [central] London. But after visiting the Brunel Museum, they really opened up to the idea that smaller heritage sites can be just as fun and interesting."

The all means that from Tuesday, your donation to us can go twice as far towards keeping our families events free in 2026!

You can help us offer these for free!

Counting down to Tuesday 2 December when our @biggive.bsky.social #ChristmasChallenge opens - and you can see your donation doubled!
