Demand for housing and mental health support continues to grow across the Thames Valley, even as funding pressures and changes in commissioning reduce the support available in some areas.
Our new strategy sets out how Response will focus on what works, strengthen our services and remain sustainable so we can continue supporting people when they need us most.
Developed with input from staff, partners, people with lived experience of mental illness and people who use our services, the strategy outlines our vision for the future and our commitment to delivering high-quality, person-centred, trauma informed support.
Discover our priorities and plans for the years ahead in our strategy for 2026-2030.
