ELMORE COMMUNITY SERVICES 

Elmore Community Services works with people with complex needs who do not easily fit the remit of other agencies. Needs arise from combinations of problems with mental health, substance misuse, homelessness, offending, exploitation and trafficking, learning and communication difficulties. We work across Oxfordshire. We provide practical help, emotional support, advocacy and outreach.
