W5 LIFE is part of The Odyssey Trust, and through the partnership The King's Trust has delivered eight OCN-accredited digital skills programmes. The "Get Ready" initiative has so far supported more than 100 young people.

The trust's work across Northern Ireland reaches further still. Each year more than 10,000 young people receive support, and around 70 per cent of them go on to work, education or further training. A growing network of schools, employers and partners contributes to the effort.
