The 1851 Trust is a dynamic and innovative education charity committed to inspiring young people nationwide. We believe in inspiring young people from all backgrounds to imagine their futures differently. We harness the power of professional sport to challenge perceptions and to excite more young people about the opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM).

It is widely recognised that not enough talented young people are choosing careers in science, engineering and technology. As the official charity of Sir Ben Ainslie’s British America’s Cup sailing team, INEOS Team UK, our high-quality education programmes use the team’s cutting-edge innovation and aspirational role models to leave young people excited and wanting to learn more.
