Our History
Formerly known as Oxfordshire Group Homes, the Charity changed its name to Response in 2006. Established in 1963 under the auspices of the League of Friends of Littlemore and Warneford Hospitals the Charity helped in the introduction of Care in the Community by providing Group Homes that allowed people with mental health problems to reside in community settings.
The Organisation, which has grown quite significantly over the years, continues to support the work of the statutory services and is recognised as a high quality provider of mental health services.
Our Vision
All our care, support and learning is guided by the following principles:
Everyone has the right to expect high quality care and support.
The level and provision of both support and care should be individually focused
Everyone has the right to an acceptable standard of accommodation and that this is a vital component of mental well-being
We listen to, and are guided by, the people who use or come into contact with our services and continually improve the services we offer
We believe that in order to provide high quality services we need to invest in our staff team and help develop their skills.
