SRP's Outreach Committee

SRP's Outreach Committee explain and demonstrate what radiological protection is, and why it is important to those outside of the Society.  They do this by organising and attending a number of events where they explain radiation protection in basic terms and try to show people that science can be fun and an interesting career opportunity.  The main event that they attend is the Big Bang Fair which is held in Birmingham each year and this can cost quite a considerable amount, even though they do rely on volunteers, the stand, accommodation and food does add up.  The Big Bang Fair is felt to be especially important to attend as it attracts over 70,000 people each year and they're able to communicate with students of various ages, teachers, parents and families about radiation protection.
