Hector's House

Who we are

Hector’s House is a small charity dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting people affected by suicide across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.   We were founded in 2016 by the family and friends of Hector Stringer, who took his own life at the age of 18.  

We have a strong presence in our local communities, with amazing active support from individuals, groups and organisations, in funding, volunteering and in-kind support.  It is this vital support that reminds us daily about the value of the work we do and the ongoing need.  

We offer a range of evidence-led services focused on awareness, education and direct support.   In 2025, we reached 2,500 people, including working closely with groups, schools and organisations as well as direct support to individuals.

Central to our work is a core message of hope.
