Transforming lives through mental health support and housing

Who is Response?
Transforming lives through mental health support and housing

At Response, we are a charity dedicated to transforming lives through mental health support and housing. For over 60 years, we have provided essential wellbeing resources, tailored support programmes and safe stable housing.

Operating across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, and beyond, we provide support for people aged 11 and above, right through to those in the final years of life. We deliver life-changing care and practical help to those who need it most.
