Where your donations to Hestia go

In 2020/21 alone, Hestia supported more than 14,000 adults and children in London and the south east to a life beyond crisis.

We work with women and children who have experienced domestic abuse, victims of modern slavery, young care leavers, older adults and individuals who are experiencing challenges with their mental health. We empower the people we support to forge their own recovery, set and achieve their own goals and lead fulfilling lives of their choosing.

When you donate to Hestia, you enable us to be there for more people, like Issac, and provide them with the best possible start on their recovery journeys. 


Sara's* story: "We arrived at Hestia's refuge with just our holidays clothes"

"It’s nearly four years since I arrived at Hestia’s refuge with my two boys and a couple of suitcases but I’m still so proud of myself for leaving that day. Our lives are so different now and when I look back it sometimes feel like it all happened to someone else. If I had known about all the types of support available for women and children who’ve experienced domestic abuse, I would have left sooner.

I still remember the day we left. We’d been to Turkey, but I knew as soon as we got back that I had to get out. I grabbed our suitcases, still packed with holiday clothes, and left with my children.

I adapted quickly in the refuge – I think that’s one of my strengths. It helped that the staff were just so good: reassuring and non-judgemental, and they listened to what we needed.

Over the last four years my life has changed completely. I’m married with a new baby, a home of my own and my two boys are happy and settled in school. When I was with my ex-partner, I remember praying for what I have now.

I feel that I’m back in control of my life."
