The 1851 Trust is the Official Charity of INEOS TEAM UK. The Trust takes science beyond the textbook to get young people active and inspired by sport.

Since the 1851 Trust was launched in 2014, its model of combining sport and science has proved effective in inspiring young people up and down the UK.  Using its unique, behind-the-scenes access to INEOS TEAM UK, the Trust’s education and sailing programmes are designed to both challenge young people to excel and to inspire them to believe anything is possible, with a focus on become future scientists, engineers and innovators.

The Trust’s STEM Crew education resources are being used by teachers at over 25% of UK secondary schools reaching over 100,000 young people in their classrooms each year. Alongside exposing students to the Formula 1 of sailing in their classrooms and on multi-activity roadshow days, the Trust works with a national network of sailing centres and over 60 schools to give thousands of young people the experience of sailing for the first time.  These young people would never have this opportunity and we are pleased that over half of them achieve recognised sailing qualifications as well as demonstrating improvements in communication, determination and resilience.
