British Science Week/ Community Grants / Deadline 24 November
British Science Week 2026 Community Grants open now
What is available?
For British Science Week 2026, we’re offering grants of up to £600 to community groups that work with people who are typically underrepresented in science, and which set out to deliver an event or activity that involves the local community, challenges science stereotypes and inspires ongoing science engagement. Why not take a look at our Community Grants case studies to discover how previous grant recipients used the funding for their own British Science Week projects?
Before submitting your form, please read the Community Grants guidelines to find all the information you need on how to apply, and whether your community group is eligible. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at communities@britishscienceassociation.org.
Who can apply?
We offer funding to community groups that work directly with audiences traditionally underrepresented in science, including:
- people from ethnic minority backgrounds
- people living in communities which face deprivation, including people disadvantaged in terms of education and income
- people with a disability or long-term health condition
- people living in a remote and rural location, defined as settlements of less than 10,000 people
- girls and women*.
* For community groups that work with girls and women, we prioritise those who work with at least one other underrepresented group.
