Stemettes is a charity working to help combat the lack of women and non-binary people in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) in a new way. Working across the UK & Ireland, it looks to inspire and support young women and young non-binary people into STEAM. Which means young women & non-binary people can make informed decisions about careers STEAM and can be proportionally represented in the field. Click here to donate.

We are delighted to be fundraising for Street Child and Stemettes, and we are very grateful that every penny raised will be matched by Rise, created by Barclays. We look forward to seeing you on the 14th of June!
