With our incredible network of volunteers we support 100-150 families every year across Lambeth. We do this through our home-visiting service and our Freedom programme for domestic abuse survivors. To learn more about our work, please see our impact report on our website.
“The best most useful part of the help I got from HSL was the emotional and practical support. My volunteer encouraged me to leave the house and provided me with support from other organisations. If I didn’t receive support from HSL I would of suffered mentally, been more anxious and feel more stressed. I have been given the confidence on how to cope and manage.”
