We are dedicated to providing a wide range of services in Islington to empower our service users with safety, hope, and purpose. Our support offer includes the following services. 

 

Mental health

We work closely with the community to improve access to mental health support. There are two different mental health services we offer:

• Highbury Grove Recovery House - an accommodation-based service for men experiencing a mental health crisis,

• Islington Recovery Café - a service that provides practical and emotional support for those experiencing a mental health crisis. The service is open 365 days of the year, including bank holidays, and Islington residents can drop in without an appointment.

 

Criminal justice

Our Highbury Approved Premises is a recovery-focused Approved Premises for females leaving custody.

 

Employment support

Our Developing Futures programme, delivered through Twining-Hestia, supports young adults (aged 18-24) from ethnically diverse communities looking for personalised and realistic advice on how to achieve their life goals.

 

Modern slavery response

Our modern slavery service started in 2011 and we have supported more than 7,000 survivors since then. We provide seven safe houses in London and Kent, as well as a pan-London outreach service working in every London borough.
