About us

Big Ideas is a social impact agency. From chemistry to commemoration we work across a range of sectors always with a social justice agenda. We tell unknown stories, engage underserved audiences and bring everyone together for lasting change.

Dr Virginia Crompton founded Big Ideas in 2015 to create new spaces for communities to come together and make lasting change. From taking action on racism to encouraging more women and girls to work in STEM, Big Ideas programmes empower participants to make a difference on the big issues we all care about. In 2023 alone, over 54,000 people across the UK took part in one of their programmes.
