Case Study: Seadream Education CIC

Seadream Education CIC is a not-for-profit organisation based in Devon, delivering science and engineering activities to instil an interest and understanding about the natural world with a particular focus on the marine environment. Its activities include creating and teaching national curriculum-related science resource kits in schools, training and materials for teachers, marine biology research projects and promoting its work at public engagement events. Seadream also mentors young people who are not in employment, education or training. Given the small number of paid employees, Seadream sometimes requires additional capacity to meet the demand for its activities and fill gaps in the team’s skills. This includes supporting the set-up and delivery of activities at large events such as country shows or music festivals.
