Ulluminate C.I.C.

FY25 was the first big year for Ulluminate. We held a series of events inviting local experts to present their knowledge to our community including how to spot the Northern Lights, the construction of the new harbour, the need for a community energy scheme. The peak was our main three-day festival in May 2024. This included a science fair attracting more than 100 primary school children from across the school catchment area, it included film, theatre, dance and speakers as well as site visits to many local amenities. All of these included a focus on scientific elements. Feedback and photos from our event is posted on our website: ulluminate.org Following the event we carried out Project Jellypool - a citizen science project throughout July, August and September to monitor jellyfish populations on a local beach. This attracted many people from young to old and resulted in a good report published on our website written by a local biologist.
