We are delighted to share our newly published impact report, which highlights the outcomes of our programmes and the difference we’re making for young people across the UK.

The report showcases our achievements from the last year and the collective dedication of our volunteers, partners and supporters who have made our work possible. Through in-person work experience, skills workshops, mentoring and events, another cohort of In2scienceUK participants have gained the confidence, community and opportunities to pursue STEM education and careers:

98%

of In2STEM participants reported gaining skills during the programme that will support them in the future

51,839

hours of in-person placement experience took place across our programmes in total

97%

of In2research participants said the programme helped them to decide whether they want a career in research

As In2scienceUK CEO Stephen Hancock reflects in the report: “With the invaluable support of our volunteers, partners and funders, we’ve been able to reach 1,377 participants this year, expanding our impact to more communities. We are ever grateful to everyone who helped us to ensure young people can access high-quality STEM opportunities, regardless of background, ensuring that diverse voices drive the future STEM landscape.”

As well as the latest impact data, a number of case studies from In2scienceUK participants and alumni are featured, including Sandip, who has taken part in all three of our programmes:
“I think In2scienceUK is one of the few charities truly making science accessible, especially for people from underrepresented backgrounds who might otherwise find it difficult to get into STEM. What makes it unique is its outreach; the way it connects with students and brings opportunities directly to them. Any opportunity that comes through In2scienceUK is worth grabbing because you only stand to gain. You don’t lose anything by taking part, but you have so much to learn, experience and build on.”
