The Oxford Trust

The Oxford Trust is an independent charity, established in 1985 by entrepreneurs Sir Martin and Lady Audrey Wood, co-founders of Oxford Instruments. Our mission is "to encourage the pursuit of science". We do this through our innovation centres – the Wood Centre for Innovation and the Oxford Centre for Innovation – for science and tech start-ups and our education and engagement programmes, delivered by Science Oxford. The Trust runs two innovation centres in Oxford to support science and tech start-ups: the Wood Centre for Innovation, part of the Headington Science Cluster, and the Oxford Centre for Innovation in central Oxford. Our Science Oxford Centre adjoins the Wood Centre for Innovation and is the UK's first integrated indoor-outdoor science centre for primary and early years children. It is open to schools during the week and families on Saturdays. Alongside the Centre, the team runs an extensive outreach programme to primary schools and communities across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and a STEM Careers Programme for secondary students.
