We are delighted to share that the Community Foundation for Surrey has awarded Brooklands Museum a wonderful £6,000 grant which helps us to engage thousands of students in Surrey every year through unique hands-on STEM workshops and experiences such as Brooklands Innovation Academy.

Brooklands Museum relies upon the generosity of funders like Community Foundation for Surrey to keep our Education programmes running. Initiatives like Brooklands Innovation Academy cannot run without external support, and so we are extremely grateful for our recent grant from the Foundation, courtesy of the Electronic Arts Educational Fund. EA - Electronic Arts

Many in Surrey will have visited Brooklands Museum near Weybridge and enjoyed the heritage aviation and motoring exhibits over the years. Whether there as children or adults, visitors can celebrate this amazing place - but we wonder how many know that it's also a Registered Charity?

We are delighted to have made a grant to Brooklands in our most latest round of funding to enable them to expand their reach to students hoping to study science and engineering. We know that accessibility to education is vital, and are proud to be able to contribute.

Pictured here is Kate, our Director of Grant-making, testing out a Formula 1 car!

Happy !
