Chipping Norton Hub
The Helen Hamlyn Hub Chipping Norton is part of a community initiative to support healthier ageing and wellbeing.
The Helen Hamlyn Hub includes activities delivered by the parish nurse alongside one-to-one health and wellbeing support. The initiative has been kindly funded by The Helen Hamlyn Trust | Paul Hamlyn Foundation and is a partnership between St Mary’s Chipping Norton, The Branch and the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing EPICS | Oxford Institute of Population Ageing.
The service contributes to the development of a local Healthy Ageing Hub—providing a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space focused on wellbeing and independence. This initiative has been shaped by feedback from local residents about what support is most needed in the community.


Everyone has questions about what life is all about. We believe that everyone should have a chance to share those questions, explore the Christian faith and give their point of view.
Alpha is a place where you can ask those questions in an honest, friendly and open environment. We'll be running a course again in the Autumn, but in the meantime, find out more here...
So many people in our community feel the weight of debt, and we are passionate about helping to release anyone we can from a life sentence of debt and poverty. At St Mary's we are working with Christians Against Poverty to bring good news, hope and freedom. If you need support, we'd love to hear from you.
