Welcome

The Crib works to build a better future for homeless families living in Oldham, Darnhill and Heywood.

We take a step-by-step approach to reducing the impact of poverty on health. We do this by providing health and wellbeing resources for young families in crisis who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

We can support you if you are pregnant or a family with at least one child in nappies.

Once referred in by a health professional or organisation, individuals and families can access this support.
