Fuchs Foundation
The Fuchs Foundation was originally established by the party of British Antarctic Survay scientists wintering out on South Georgia 1973/4. The objective being to mark the service of Sir Vivian Fuchs as the first Director of the Survey. For the past 30 years the Foundation helped a many young people develop by giving them the oppertunity to experience challenging and adventurous activities.
With the re-launching of the charity to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of Sir Vivian Fuchs’ Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition 1956-58, the Trustees have re-focused the charity to:
“To organize expeditions of young teachers of science and geography to undertake scientific expeditions to the Antarctic and Arctic in alternate years – preparing teaching materials from their experiments and experiences which will be of use to meet the needs of the National Curriculum – these teaching materials to be available on the Foundations web site for the use of all schools.”
