School Activities
A major role of the NW Region has been to stimulate interest in analytical chemistry in youngsters.

We attach great importance to supporting the very successful Schools Analyst Competition which is held annually and involves schools spread throughout the UK.
We also organise fun events for primary school children and help arrange schools lectures throughout the Region. Our committee members also visit schools to promote chemistry and offer careers advice.

We are also actively promoting Streamwatch UK, an environmental project which encourages observation of local rivers by the use of analytical test kits to produce good data on water quality which is subsequently fed into a central database.
