Making a Difference
Our charitable goals are to advance public education by maintaining W5 – Northern Ireland’s award-winning science centre – and to provide facilities for leisure and recreation in the interests of social welfare and improved conditions of life.
The opportunity to work alongside colleagues with the same heart, vision, and passion means that creativity and innovation never stop. The Odyssey Trust is far more than just a charity, it truly is a family.
