SACP joins the Space East cluster

The Schools’ Aerospace Careers Programme (SACP) is pleased to announce that, as of 28 October 2026, we are a member of the Space East cluster.

Space East is the space cluster for the East of England, bringing together businesses, universities and other organisations working in or exploring the space sector. It helps them connect, share expertise and develop opportunities in space and satellite technologies, while supporting skills and talent development.

Through this membership, we hope to build relationships that help more young people discover careers in space, aerospace and aviation, and understand the routes available to them.

We aim to work with organisations across the cluster through our three pillars: Roadshow presentations in schools, our comprehensive website, and our forthcoming Network & Alumni, planned for 2027. Together, these offer opportunities for organisations to share their knowledge and experience with students, helping them explore future study, apprenticeships and employment.

Joining Space East builds on our existing involvement in the region, including the ARU Peterborough Community Day and the Peterborough STEM Festival.

Our thanks go to Stuart Catchpole for the initial contact and, in particular, Matthew Bagley for his recent efforts and support in bringing this membership together. We look forward to getting to know the wider Space East community.
