The Mission
BioSci Toolkit is a national non-profit CIC that empowers students—especially from Black, mixed, and seldom-heard ethnic communities—to confidently make informed decisions about bioscience degrees and careers.
↓
Vision ←
- We envision a world where students from Black, mixed, and seldom heard communities are fully represented and thriving in bioscience.
- We plan to become a leading force for equity in bioscience—offering tools, networks, and guidance from school classroom to career.
- Bold futures in bioscience start here – where bioscience students are thriving not just surviving.
→ The Challenge
- ACCESS: knowledge gaps and lower application success rates
- PROGRESS: insufficient academic and personal support, visible role models, inclusive curriculum and support structures.
- SUCCESS: lower attainment and lower progression to employment.
Target Audience ←
- Black, mixed and seldom heard ethnic communities in bioscience disciplines.
- From widening participation backgrounds, specifically young carers, care- experienced, estranged, refugee/asylum, on free school meals and attended a state school.
