The funding need

Odyssey is run very efficiently with only a very small percentage of our funds going on administration, but there is a constant need to raise money to finance our operations. Places are free to the participant (though if you are attending and feel able to contribute to the cost we would be delighted to accept) and the cost of a place is in the region of £700.

To run Odyssey for a year in one region costs around £38,000 and we are now at work on raising significant additional funds to support our new operations in other parts of the country. Much of our funding comes from major sponsors such as companies and charitable trusts but there is also a significant contribution from private donations and from fundraising events.
