Help us connect more people to science

Science is transformative. It shapes our world, and everyone should have a say in how it is used in our lives. 

Right now, your support can go twice as far. Thanks to the generosity of two Be the Spark Benefactors, every donation from £50 to £50,000 made between 19 June and 19 December will be matched pound for pound, up to £250,000. 

That means your gift is doubled: £50 becomes £100, £500 becomes £1,000 – enough to deliver a free Science in Schools visit to a school in an underserved area. Together, we can turn £250,000 into half a million and transform the lives of thousands of curious minds. 

Your donation, big or small, helps us inspire more people through our education programmes, our world-class collection, and our public events. 

Please support us today – and help turn £250,000 into half a million.
