London is one of the most diverse cities in the world, yet many people face significant barriers to getting a job, progressing their careers or even feeling like they belong within their workplace.

Healthy Pillar | This is Me programme

This is Me is an award-winning mental health programme that supports organisations to end the stigma around mental, creating healthier more inclusive workplace cultures to improve employee wellbeing. We do this by supporting organisations to; raise awareness around mental health through our Green Ribbon campaign, open up the conversation and end the stigma through This is Me storytelling and build the skills of managers and employees to have conversations around mental health confidently through the Wellbeing in the Workplace e-learning tool, developed in partnership with Samaritans. Since 2016, over 1000 organisations have signed up to This is Me and we have an ambitious target to increase our engagement with organisations across the UK and internationally.

Skilled Pillar | She Can Be programme

In a society where young women believe they do not have the same chances in business as their male counterparts, She Can Be aims to change this perception and empower young women, and those that identify as non-binary, to see the City as not only a viable, but an exciting career option for them. It aims to boost young people’s confidence in their abilities by equipping them with the tools to consider careers in the City, if they want one. She Can Be is delivered in partnership with business, schools and our charity partners to connect young women to City businesses through a one-day event each year.

Haven House Children’s Hospice first opened its doors in 2003 with the aim to provide specialist care to babies, children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, as well as support for their families, from across North and Northeast London, West Essex and East Herts. Our services have grown significantly and are wide ranging including end-of-life care, symptom management, respite, play and various therapies, as well as practical and emotional support for the wider family members.

Haven House’s 5-year strategy, the ambitious Vision 2020, came to a successful conclusion in 2020 and we were due to agree and announce a new 3-year strategy at that time but that was delayed by Covid-19. With the arrival of our new CEO, work is underway on a new long-term strategy, one that we intend to be equally ambitious in offering more support to more children and families.

Today we support over 400 children each year as well as their families – but we know from research that there remain many families we have not yet been able to reach. Income has continued to grow year-on-year to £5m+ (2020/1 - a record in spite of the challenges of the past year. There is though much more we want to achieve for children and families, and we believe that, with the right leadership, the potential exists for further income growth to enable us to do just that.

The Income Generation & Marketing (IGM) team at Haven House is responsible for raising around 80% of the funds required to run the hospice and its services. It is also responsible for promoting the hospice across its local communities to engage a wide variety of stakeholders in fundraising and volunteering activities. In addition, the team delivers strategic marketing action, support, and advice to raise awareness of our services to both families and statutory partners.
