Charles Darwin Trust

The Charles Darwin Trust "uses the intellectual and cultural heritage of Darwin, through his approach to science and his work at Down House and in the immediate countryside, to inspire a deeper understanding of the natural world.

"The Trust achieves this through research and development of Darwin-Inspired education materials, and through developing programmes for teachers and schools. These programmes are delivered through collaboration with major organisations and at Down House. The Trust is seeking to adapt its programmes for availability online."
