Oxfordshire Community Foundation - Strengthening community engagement across Didcot

Whilst some were free, many (music groups, sports clubs, brownies) charge fees and require long-term commitment, uniforms and kit. Such costs put these beyond the reach families looking for low-cost / no-cost options. Other groups support parenting classes, breast feeding and special needs support. Whilst such services were historically provided by statutory agencies, budget cuts have seen these reduced or withdrawn. Having engaged residents and piloted new services, we will continue collaborating with inspired and inspiring individuals and community-based, parent-led groups across neighbourhoods in trusted venues. We will focus on those services for children and families that were most in demand before Didcot’s children’s centres closed. Our funded programme will enable us to focus on children and families: -Continue developing our network of local community service providers. -Publicise the range of services already available, especially for children and families, and create ways to successfully signpost them. -Help build the capacity of existing provision, particularly in relation to children and families. -Fill gaps in existing provision, through direct delivery and/or brokering other services. -Build a business case for the next 3 years of development.
