The Smallpeice Trust

The Smallpeice Trust was founded in 1966 by Dr. Cosby D P Smallpeice — a brilliant engineer who invented the Smallpeice Lathe. Following his success, Dr. Smallpeice ploughed £1.6m of his personal fortune into setting up The Smallpeice Trust to give young people the support they need to bring their big ideas to life through science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). At The Smallpeice Trust, we believe anything is possible when you know how. That’s why we’re here to give young people everything they need to fuel their passion for engineering, helping to make their big ideas a reality. All with the help of charities, parents, teachers, universities and corporate partners backing them all the way. The Smallpeice Trust is supported by a wide range of national and international companies, the Armed Forces, Institutions, Livery Companies, educational and other charities, and universities. Other Smallpeice partners include arm ltd, Babcock International Group, E.ON, Leonardo, HS2 Ltd, Jaguar Land Rover, Lloyd’s Register Foundation, Lockheed Martin, National Cyber Security Centre, National Grid, National Nuclear Laboratory, RAF, Shell, Siemens, Tomorrow’s Engineers and the UK Electronics Skills Foundation.
