    Did you know it’s #GiftAidAwarenessDay? Last year, we were able to boost our income with almost £200k in Gift Aid, thanks to generous donations from Glasgow Science Centre’s visitors. These welcome donations help us to further our charitable aims and bring the benefits of STEM to as many communities as possible. From supporting Science Education and inspiring children to pursue careers or further education in STEM fields, to boosting our community outreach and making science and maths accessible to people of all ages and background, the work our donations make possible is vital. By adding a small voluntary donation to your ticket if you’re a UK taxpayer, we can claim an extra 25% for every £1 you give. #TickTheBox Charity Finance Group

    💻 Have you read our latest blog post? Professor William McLean, President of the The British Endodontic Society and Professor of Endodontology at the University of Glasgow Dental School has reflected on the launch of the exhibit ‘At the Root of It” at the Glasgow Science Centre – the end-product of a journey that started almost ten years ago, with the bid for the IFEA World Endodontic Congress, which took place in Glasgow last month. Earlier this year we signed a memorandum of understanding with the University of Glasgow to increase opportunities to promote science within communities across the city. We look forward to building upon our relationship with the university and continuing to engage new audiences with academic research. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eKHjzzCb Glasgow Convention Bureau
