Be there for people in crisis through a gift in your will

Every year, thousands of people find themselves in crisis. 

They may be living with domestic abuse, have escaped modern slavery, be struggling with mental health challenges, or have experience of the criminal justice system.

At Hestia, we believe that no one should face crisis and trauma alone. For over 55 years, we have been there for adults and children in their time of need, walking with them every step of the way to recovery. 

By leaving a gift in your will to Hestia, you can help to ensure that adults and children always have somewhere to turn in times of crisis. Once you have taken care of your loved ones, leaving a gift in your will to Hestia will create a brighter future for people recovering from abuse and trauma.  

How to leave a gift in your will

When writing or updating your will, we recommend that you use a solicitor, legal advisor, or reputable will-writing service to ensure that it is legally valid and reflects your intentions.   

If you would like to leave Hestia a gift in your will, the most important information that you need is our charity name, address, and registered charity number, shown below.  

Charity name: Hestia  
Registered charity number: 294555  
Registered address: 68 Alie Street, London, E1 8PX  

Let us know you have left a gift in your will to Hestia

If you are considering leaving a gift in your will to Hestia, have already included Hestia in your will, or have questions about including a gift in your will to Hestia, we would love to hear from you.    

Please get in touch:
