• On Wednesday 15th June 2011, the launch party of STEM4 saw over 100 people gather to demonstrate their support and find out more about our exciting initiative. At this very successful event, Dr Nihara Krause outlined the aims and purposes of the charity, Patsy Preece spoke about how we hope to involve schools and Anne Martin explained various ways in which those present might help support the venture. In addition to the three trustees, two young people: Maddy Thimont-Jack and Joe Stone commented on their own experiences in supporting friends faced with different challenges and the need for teenagers to have access to the right kinds of information at the right time.
