Who The Odell Centre supports.

The Odell Centre welcomes people from the Wyre Forest area of Worcestershire and surrounding districts.

The Centre is in Plimsoll Street in Kidderminster. It is open five days a week, Monday to Friday, from 9am until 3pm.

The history of The Odell Centre.

The Odell Centre is run by The Odell Trust, which was established in 1984 in memory of Eric O'Dell, a retired electrical engineer, whose son had a learning disability.

Mr O'Dell felt strongly that there should be a day centre in the Kidderminster area for people with learning disabilities.

Founder members of the Odell Trust set up the day centre in a scout hut on Habberley Road and it moved to its current premises to Plimsoll Street within the year when part of the current building became available.

Core Projects

Our 5 core activities include bushcraft with Earth Craft, gardening with Green Shoots, arts and crafts with Art Club, woodworking with Splinters, and performing arts with The Odell Players.
