Young Engineers: Sponsorship

1,800 clubs • 100,000 students • why you should be involved and how

Who we are and what we do

Young Engineers is one of the UK's biggest educational charities which is devoted to developing the next generation of engineers, scientists and technologists through after-school clubs and other student related activities. We're a national organisation providing activities, competitions and co-ordination for thousands of young people to learn about engineering and science in a practical and fun manner. And we need YOUR help to do it.

We think this is important work and we think we do it well. But it isn't just us that says so. Here's what one of our existing sponsors has to say:

"Young Engineers is one of the most successful organisations in the UK promoting engineering to children of all ages. Is this important? There's absolutely no doubt!"

Michael Franklin, Director, The Lloyd's Register Educational Trust
Founding Sponsor of Young Engineers

Our sponsors and partners

Young Engineers is backed by companies in industry and business generally and by national organisations and by engineering institutions. Since 1994, more than 150 corporations and 50 institutions, government bodies and sector organisations have worked with us. In addition, over 400 organisations have provided in-kind support by hosting events and supplying resources. 

Sponsorship benefits both Young Engineers and the sponsors themselves:

• It helps raise the profile of STEM subjects and grow the pool of engineers
• It makes a demonstrable impact on educational achievement in STEM subjects
• It is an important part of many sponsors' corporate social responsibility activities
• It enables sponsors' staff to become involved in worthwhile educational activities 

STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
