Example activities

Q: What will encourage people to give you financial support? 

A: Good ideas. 

When looking for support it's vital that you have a good idea that you can ‘sell’ to the organisations that you approach. This document gives some examples of other activities that have been supported by funding bodies, as well as examples of activities and ideas that are always good to consider when planning a new project. 

Take inspiration from these fabulous ideas on the STEM Clubs website and come up with some equally fabulous ones of your own!
