Over the last financial year Driven By Us CIC delivered its most impactful year to date, significantly expanding both its community programmes and educational activities across the UK. With support from partners Mission 44, the organisation focused on scaling and tailoring its programmes to reach a wider and more diverse audience. We delivered a range of high-impact programmes designed to inspire and support young people, particularly in STEM-related fields. This included the delivery of interactive STEM modules, in partnership with Star Academies and in collaboration with the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team, reaching over 1,515 students across Birmingham. In addition, over 320 students were provided with access to industry role models and immersive learning opportunities through STEM Experience Days at the Atlassian Williams F1 Team. We delivered a STEM outreach programme in collaboration with the Aramco Aston Martin Formula One Team, which formed part of their landmark Make A Mark Programme Day for 300 students. These programmes and workshops have helped bridge the gap between education and industry by providing practical exposure and inspiration. Community engagement remained central to the company’s activities. At the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the organisation hosted a Community Hub, offering members of the community the opportunity to experience a live race event in exchange for volunteering. This initiative also included an on-stage panel discussion broadcast to an audience of approximately 75,000 attendees, amplifying community voices and representation. The company also continued to support talent development pathways through its Academy drivers, who achieved significant success by winning the UK FAT Karting League and securing second place in the World Finals, we’ve been proud to partial fund race seats from a grassroots accessibility level. Further opportunities were provided to the community through exclusive access and career development experiences. These included behind-the-scenes access to the F1 Exhibition in London, a presenting and hosting workshop delivered in partnership with KLH Brand Advocates, and participation in key industry events such as INWED and STEM Catalyst career sessions with Oracle Red Bull Racing. Through these combined activities, the company has delivered meaningful social impact by increasing access, representation, and opportunity within motorsport and STEM industries. The organisation remains committed to fostering enthusiasm, developing skills, and creating pathways for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds, ensuring long-term benefits for both participants and the wider community.
