The scheme offers up to £100K to organisations and individuals with great educational and outreach ideas. Between 2 and 10 proposals are expected to be funded and applications are now welcome. The scheme is open to organisations and individuals who meet the eligibility criteria.
This opportunity will be supplemented in due course by a further announcement for schools.
