MathsWorldUK is a charity established in 2013, with the objective of creating a mathematical visitor attraction for people to engage with and learn about mathematics, which would be the first in the UK. MathsWorldUK will be aimed at a wide range of ages, including young people, families and schools, and will include hands-on activities, experiments and puzzles aimed at facilitating mathematical discovery and enjoyment, arranged into sections by mathematical topic[1].

After a period of fundraising[2], MathsWorldUK established the hands-on discovery centre MathsCity, located in Trinity Leeds Shopping Centre, in October 2021[3][4][5][6][7][8].
