Hestia Housing & Support
At Hestia we support adults with severe and enduring mental health conditions, women and children survivors of domestic abuse, those living with HIV/AIDS, young males at the risk of re-offending, drug and alcohol misuse and those with long term physical health conditions.
Their self-confidence and skills may have been undermined by a long-term health condition, post-traumatic stress, or a stay in hospital or in prison. However, with the right support, we believe that everyone is capable of making positive changes and of living a fulfilling life. Our vision is: Empowering People, Changing Lives
Our Mission
To deliver high quality and empowering housing, support, protection, care and involvement services in partnership with service users and local communities.
What we do
We support over 1,600 people each year through:
- Housing, including hostels, domestic violence refuges, care homes and semi-independent supported housing
- Children and Family Support projects, supporting mothers and children to rebuild their lives following domestic violence
- Community Support helping people to settle into, or to continue, living independently in their own homes
- Outreach helping people in the community with advice, support and advocacy around domestic violence and mental health
- Local Involvement Networks (LINks) enabling people in the London boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea, Ealing, Brent and Hammersmith & Fulham to shape the health and care services in their neighbourhoods
- Service User Involvement through the independently constituted Better Lives Forum we are involving our service users in shaping our services at practically every level from service inspections to governance.
- Supported Volunteering for our services users to help them build confidence, skills and wider social networks, all of which will enable them to live more independently in the long term
