Save the date - if you can help us next week by donating, your donation will be DOUBLED thanks to the Brunel Museum's own generous supporters.
We love welcoming schools to the Brunel Museum, but we know we're not as accessible as we could be for every learner.
That's why we're part of Big Give's #ArtsForImpact campaign: starting 17 March, we're aiming to raise £2500 to help make our school visits more accessible for every body and mind.
This weekend, Sat 14 and Sun 15 March, we're offering free entry to National Lottery Players to say thank you for the support offered by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
We'll be running guided tours all weekend, from 10.45-2.45 both days.
Offer available at vist.ly/4udas
We want to transform access to our science and heritage learning experiences, ensuring that all school visitors - including those with additional needs - can fully engage with the pioneering science and engineering heritage at the heart of our site.
We'll share the campaign as soon as it goes live!
Coming soon: we're fundraising as part of the Big Give's #ArtsForImpact campaign this March!
Thanks to the generosity of the Brunel Museum's supporter network, between 17-24 March your donations will be DOUBLED - helping us make our education programme even more accessible.
