Our Mission:
To build the confidence, curiosity and capability every young person needs to shape the future.
Patron, Sir Ben AinslieThe future won’t be shaped by technology alone, It will be shaped by the young people who believe they are capable of creating it. That’s the future we believe in.
Big challenges need bold minds.
Through sport and science, The 1851 Trust turns curiosity into confidence, challenge
into capability and potential into action.
Young people don’t just discover science.
They discover what they’re capable of.
Charlotte, 13“I didn’t really know what ‘STEM’ was or have any idea what a career could look like before coming to STEM Crew LIVE, but after today I feel really excited about that opportunity”
Sport brings science to life, turning it into something young people experience – not just study.
That’s when learning clicks. That’s when confidence grows. That’s when young people realise science was never someone else’s subject.
It was always theirs.
Powered by sport. Driven by science. Learning in motion.
