If you have been helped by the information on this website,
please consider making a donation to Education Otherwise.

If your local group has a website or e-mail contact please let us know - this page is for all Home Education groups, not just those affiliated with Education Otherwise. 

Please note, there are lots of other groups around the country; those listed here are the ones with electronic contact details. We do not list private telephone numbers or addresses on the website.  (Please note that for reasons of personal security we are unable to give further information about local groups to non-members). If you are looking for local contact or support from other families it may be helpful to post a message to our Yahoo Groups mailing list (See our Home Page) or join Education Otherwise to receive a copy of the Contact List.

These sites are maintained by the individual groups and queries should be addressed to the individual webmasters.  If a link does not work Please inform the EO webmaster
