Virgin AtlanticVirgin Atlantic has announced that from October 2024, it will work with two new partners to support its core community pillars of STEM education, through its cornerstone program Passport to Change, and its disaster relief effort, using the power of its people and planes to deliver aid to communities in crisis.
The new partnership with STEM Learning will continue to support the airline’s vision to empower everyone to take on the world, aiming to transform young people’s futures by inspiring their potential career paths, removing barriers to STEM and equipping young people with the skills needed to succeed. As the largest provider of STEM education and careers support in the UK, STEM Learning will help grow Virgin Atlantic’s Passport to Change programme across the communities it serves.
Partnering with Save the Children will strengthen Virgin Atlantic’s efforts to support communities impacted by disaster, ranging from climate related events to regional conflict. The international charity aims to create lasting change for and with children affected by disaster, helping to ensure their health, safety and access to education. The airline will be supporting Save the Children’s Emergency Fund, providing access to healthcare, food, shelter and education when disaster strikes.

“At Virgin Atlantic, we believe everyone can take on the world. Through Passport to Change, we’re investing to create greater access to STEM education and to overcome social and economic deprivation that affects too many children today – both in the UK and abroad
“Part of our ambition for this programme is to transform young people’s futures by inspiring their career paths. We know there is a huge gender gap in STEM, and that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are disproportionately impacted. By working with STEM Learning, we aim to remove the barriers to STEM pathways and equip young people with the skills needed to succeed, driving change in the communities where we work and where we fly.
“Our collaboration with Save the Children is rooted in a shared commitment to ensuring that children affected by disasters receive the care and resources they need. Our goal is to support our communities during times of crisis, ensuring assistance is provided effectively during disasters and conflict. We’re incredibly proud to work with these two outstanding charities and we can’t wait to harness the power of our incredible people and use our business as a force for good in the communities we serve.”
Gill Collinson, Director of Strategy and Partnerships at STEM Learning, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Virgin Atlantic to support Passport to Change. Our vision is to improve lives through STEM education, and to empower young people with the skills and knowledge to thrive through effective teaching and learning – aligning perfectly with the ambitions and goals of Virgin Atlantic’s Passport to Change programme.
“We know that if young people can develop a love for STEM at an early age and be supported on the path to a rewarding and successful STEM career, this will lead to a thriving STEM economy. This programme also addresses inequality by focusing on disadvantaged areas, which further strengthens and supports our drive and passion to create a more diverse STEM talent pool across the UK.”
Gemma Sherrington, CEO, Save the Children UK, added: “With crises becoming more frequent and lasting longer, the world is an increasingly tough place to be a child. From the conflicts in Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine to the climate-induced hunger crisis in East Africa, Save the Children works to ensure that children survive and rebuild their lives in the face of disaster. By joining forces with Virgin Atlantic to combine our emergency response expertise with the airline’s extensive flight network and loyal customer base, we will be able to go the extra mile to reach many more children as soon as disaster strikes.”
