At Hestia we support adults and children in times of crisis.
We deliver services across London and the surrounding regions, as well as campaign and advocate nationally on the issues that affect the people we work with.
Last year we supported 15,238 men, women and children.
This includes victims of modern slavery, women and children who have experienced domestic abuse, young care leavers and older people. From giving someone a home, to helping them to get the right mental health support, we support people at the moment of crisis and enable them to build a life beyond a crisis. We are supported by nearly 950 volunteers across London who provide specialist skills such as art therapy, yoga, IT, gardening, cooking, befriending and fundraising.
We are proud to be the home of UK SAYS NO MORE, bringing together a diverse coalition of individuals, charities, businesses and public sector organisations to campaign for an end to domestic abuse and sexual violence.
