What if people were at the heart of science?

Including Everyone 

Science and technology could have the answer to many of the world's problems and help make a better world.

We know that science centres and museums are part of a larger system that has historically excluded certain groups of people due to bias in society, and academia.

This needs to change, we recognise that diversity of experience, dialogue and debate should be at the heart of what we do. Together we can challenge injustices.

Our public and education programmes, accessible practices and facilities, and partnerships all play an essential role in creating spaces and experiences that are open for everyone.  

Working to create a more inclusive organisation

We have a responsibility to create an environment that welcomes everyone and reflects the diversity of the city.  
 
We’re committed to promoting equity and inclusion in all aspects of our work.  
 
To achieve this, we’ll develop knowledge and skills that improve societal outcomes. We’re actively working to diversify our staff, programming, and experiences.

Inclusion stories

Can machines understand emotions?

How a visit to a science centre can be an opportunity to influence real ongoing research, and to explore how computers might help us to better understand human emotion.

Supported visits

We have a number of different ways of supporting visits to us, including:

A membership scheme that's especially for charities and groups working in and for the community.

View more on Community membership

We offer free entry for refugees and asylum seekers. It’s one of many initiatives we run to support those who are often marginalized in our communities and may have limited access to educational and cultural experiences.

We have lots of types of visitors and so we have lots of ticket types. These include day tickets, memberships, open concession tickets and community memberships.
