The Marsh Trust with ASDC Volunteer awards give ASDC members a chance to show their appreciation to the volunteers who go above and beyond, generously giving their time and energy to engage new audiences and support the vision and mission of science and discovery centres and museums. Winners were announced at the ASDC Annual Conference dinner, receiving a certificate and prize of £500. These awards are sponsored by The Marsh Trust, a charity supporting the organisations and people who are committed to social, cultural and environmental causes through grants and awards.
The ASDC Conference 2024 was a clarion call for change, actively encouraging over 240 delegates to rethink the future of science engagement. With a bold focus on inclusivity, collaboration, and societal impact, the event underscored that science cannot remain isolated—it must be fully embedded in society to drive real progress.
ASDC is inviting proposals for projects that can devote time, staff expertise and partnerships to implement the now developed Valuing Inclusion Theory of Change into your practice.
