We truly believe that now, more than ever, art and science as well as curiosity and conversation, are vital tools that help us face the challenges of the moment. From making sense of post-pandemic life by experimenting with the tools of the lab and micro-organisms; to combating climate change through learning about our local ecosystems; or through art to walk alongside someone trying to make sense of a health condition. Art, science and community are powerful tools that we believe can make a difference.

To keep in line with our belief that science should be for everyone, we try to keep our lab access prices affordable and our workshops and public engagement events free. We can only do this with external funding. If you would like to support ASCUS, the ASCUS Lab facility and events we offer, we welcome donations through the links below.

Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported us so far on our journey. From membership subscriptions, one-off donations and words of support - we can’t do this without you.
