Help drive our charitable mission

From supporting education programmes for pupils in the most disadvantaged parts of the UK, to engaging a global science community, and preserving and sharing the UK’s rich heritage of scientific advance – Ri Patrons build on our remarkable legacy and enable us to place science firmly at the centre of society. 

Not only do our Patrons enjoy access to a wide range of exclusive benefits, but they are dedicated to driving the Ri forward, ensuring that we continue to be at the forefront of science communication and a home for science where everyone is welcome. 

Your philanthropy will help us reach more curious minds, giving them vital opportunities to engage with the transformational power of science.
