About Octavia

We are Octavia. We help thousands of people in London live happily, independently and with the care they need. Our work covers three areas: Homes We build homes, manage homes and provide affordable homes for people who need them. And not just any homes. Like our founder, Victorian philanthropist Octavia Hill, we believe good homes make for better lives. So we go out of our way to create spaces people will thrive in. Support People need extra help for all sorts of reasons, at different times in their lives. So we work with Londoners of all ages to build confidence, connections and community. From training and job opportunities for younger people to befriending schemes and activities for older people. Our work is holistic, personal – and in many cases – transformational. Like Octavia Hill, we are entrepreneurial in how we fund and support this work, with help from volunteers and money raised from our charity shops. Care We look after older and vulnerable adults in many different ways, providing everything from 24-hour care to regular company and a chance for interaction. We also offer outreach services, so we can visit and connect with others across our neighbourhood. Throughout everything we do lies one core belief: that mixed communities are stronger communities, and that everyone deserves the same chances in life. We are for hope. For happiness. For equality. For the common good. Since 1865.
