External funding for a Think Maths visit

We have listed a couple of suppliers of external funding below.

London Mathematical Society – Small Grants for Education

https://www.lms.ac.uk/grants/small-grants-education
*This grant used to open for applications quarterly, but is currently being reviewed and so not currently open for applications. It may be that the LMS re-instate this grant, so it might be worth checking their website periodically.*

Up to £600-£800 to UK based applicants. The scheme will next open for applications on 1 August 2025.

Applications are accepted four times a year, and decisions about a month after the deadline in each case. 

The grants are designed to help fund activities that meet either of the following aims: enhancing and enriching mathematical study beyond the curriculum, engaging the public with mathematics or encouraging unusual ways of communicating mathematics.

British Science Week – grants for a STEM activity

https://britishscienceweek.org/grants

Deadline: Monday 24th November 2025

Up to £300-£700 to schools, through the Kick Start Grants for schools to run STEM activities during British Science Week (6th – 15th March 2026).

The basic Kick Start Grant could be used for a school to run a STEM activity. Think Maths can come in and run maths activities in your school.

And the more comprehensive Kick Start More Grant can be used for a school to host a science event or activity that involves your students and the local community. Think Maths regularly give talks and workshops at schools where other members of the community eg parents, other schools, are invited. So this is definitely something we can do!
