The Darwin Centre for Biology and Medicine
The Darwin Centre for Biology and Medicine is a UK-based nonprofit organisation focused on promoting education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). It was founded in 1993 by biochemist Professor Tony Campbell CBE and Dr. Stephanie Matthews, with the charity registration taking place in 1994[1][2].
Mission and Objectives
The Darwin Centre engages and inspires young people, families, and communities through hands-on field trips and workshops, ranging from marine biology to theoretical nuclear physics[1]. It aims to raise aspirations by providing access to experts in the STEM industry and highlighting potential career paths for young individuals in Pembrokeshire[1][5].
Programs and Activities
One of the centre's flagship programs is the Dragon LNG Darwin Experience, which has been ongoing since 2005. This initiative provides free field trips and workshops for every school in Pembrokeshire, thanks to core sponsorship from Dragon LNG[1]. The organisation also hosts events for families and home educators during school holidays, including activities like marine biology days, geology walks, and public lectures[1].
The centre has also been involved in projects funded by major institutions, such as the Wellcome Trust. For example, the "Discovering Living Light" project focused on bioluminescence and fluorescence in marine organisms, engaging over 300 students through 44 workshops between 2015 and 2018[5]. This project not only enhanced students' practical knowledge but also inspired many to pursue further education and research in the field[5].
Location and Support
The centre relocated to Pembrokeshire in 1999, where it remains active today[1]. It receives support from local entities like Pembrokeshire College and Pembrokeshire County Council, facilitating its operations and outreach programs[1].
Charity Information
The Darwin Centre for Biology and Medicine has Charity number 1038170 and maintains up-to-date charity reporting with the Charity Commission[2].
