As well as supporting people with high levels of needs, we aim to:

  • promote independence and enable people to live supported in their own homes where possible
  • increase opportunities for choice
  • work with partner organisations to promote health and wellbeing.

We work in partnership with the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust, the Berkshire Healthcare NHS Trust and Primary Care Trusts to provide the best service to people with mental health needs. We also work with a range of voluntary organisations.
