The UK Antarctic Heritage Trust protects and preserves sites and artefacts of international significance across the Antarctic Peninsula. We aim to make our shared Antarctic heritage accessible to all, whether from the sofa or the ship. We want audiences across the world to be able to discover these charismatic sites and their remarkable stories. Through this, we hope that people will develop a deeper appreciation for this extraordinary continent. Our work centres on six historic bases along the Antarctic Peninsula, each site telling a unique story of discovery and scientific exploration. These sites, which were built between the 1940s and 1970s, are the missing link between the Heroic Era structures of Scott and Shackleton and the modern-day scientific stations such as Halley and Rothera, operated by the British Antarctic Survey. These iconic structures were left empty for several decades, until the establishment of UKAHT in 1993. Since then, we have been working to conserve and care for these sites in order to make them safe, secure and accessible for visitors from around the world.

UK Youth is the largest national body for the youth sector. Founded in 1911, our growing network of youth organisations now reaches over 830,500 young people aged 9-25 across the UK. Our mission is to work hand in hand with young people – and the dedicated organisations supporting them – to develop the skills, belief, courage and leadership to build a bright future, regardless of background or circumstances. We achieve this by creating an ecosystem of youth provision that works for everyone. Last year we invested £4.3 million on direct delivery to young people through our network of members, piloting new approaches, investing in areas of high deprivation and low provision, supporting outdoor education and rolling out successful programmes nationwide.
