Lightyear Foundation breaks down barriers to science education so that all children can explore, get excited by and gain a deeper understanding of science.
The charity’s flagship project is Sensory Science, an immersive, sensory experience breaking down the barriers to science participation for children with physical and/or learning disabilities:
Tier I – a fun exploration to help children learn life-skills (such as choice making or coping with unexpected outcomes) through workshops led by a scientist and drama professional
Tier II – breaking down the barriers to science as a career for all (as well as disabled children, we also work with those from lower socioeconomic groups or children facing other life challenges).
The charity is recruiting for new trustees – and ACCA’s members could be well qualified to help. The charity’s board meets four times a year via phone conference or meetings in central London.
