Hestia Charity 🫂Hestia supports adults & children to a including , & those needing support with

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. 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 more than 460 volunteers across London who provide specialist skills such as art therapy, yoga, IT, gardening and cooking, as well as befriending and fundraising.

This Black History Month 2026, we’re honouring our communities.

At Hestia, our Stronger Together network creates a space for colleagues from ethnically diverse backgrounds to connect, share experiences and support one another.

It’s a place to celebrate our shared experiences and cultures, have honest conversations and work together to create a more inclusive Hestia.

This October, we’ll be sharing stories on inclusive leadership and celebrating and honouring the contributions of the communities that help shape Hestia.

Modern slavery can affect anyone, and increasingly, it is affecting people born and raised in the UK.

In this powerful The Big Issue piece by Greg Barradale, we hear the story of "Christopher", a British man who was forced into modern slavery in the heart of London. His experience challenges common misconceptions and highlights the urgent need for greater awareness, support, and protection for survivors.

At Hestia, we work alongside survivors every day, helping people rebuild their lives and recover from exploitation.

“It’s not serious enough.”

For many Londoners, this was a reason they hadn’t sought mental health support.

But you shouldn’t have to reach crisis point before you feel your mental health is ‘serious enough’ to ask for help. 💚

Our 2026 London Mental Health Index highlights the need for support that is:
🟢 Easier to access
🟢 Focused on prevention
🟢 Available closer to home
🟢 Connected to the realities of people’s everyday lives

Early support can help prevent people reaching crisis.

Read Hestia’s 2026 London Mental Health Index to find out what Londoners told us about their mental health and the support they need.

Where would you feel most comfortable asking for mental health support? 🏠

For many Londoners, the answer is somewhere familiar and close to home.

40% would prefer to access mental health support in local settings such as GP surgeries, community centres or charities.

By comparison, just 16% would prefer to receive support in hospital.

This matters.

If we want people to seek support earlier, services need to feel accessible, familiar and connected to everyday life.

Our 2026 London Mental Health Index explores how we can build mental health support around the communities people live in.
