Newcastle University School of Marine Science and Technology
The School of Marine Science and Technology at Newcastle University is the largest of its kind in Europe, providing a single base for all education and research related to the marine environment. The Outreach Programme reflects the commitment to supporting education access in its broadest sense, and to facilitate greater stewardship of the marine environment. This project will develop innovative teaching resources for schools, that promote the maritime industry, and set science concepts in an original context to inspire young people to consider careers in marine science and technology.
Keech Cottage Children's Hospice offers support to families from across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes who are caring for a child or young person diagnosed with a life-limiting condition. These children have a wide variety of conditions. Some may live only a few months whilst others will live for a number of years. Almost all will die before reaching adulthood. The hospice staff offer medical and social care, emotional support and friendship to the whole family, throughout the child's illness and after their death, for as long as it is needed. This care is available in-house at the charity's bright and comfortable children's hospice near Luton, or via the community nursing team at the family home.
