Octavia

Octavia Foundation is a UK charity working to support people affected by low incomes, unemployment, poor health and social isolation. Its work focuses on helping individuals and families build more stable and fulfilling lives through affordable housing, care services, community programmes and employment support. The charity has a long history of tackling poverty and inequality by combining housing provision with personalised support and wellbeing services.

The charity operates primarily in central and west London, delivering services that include housing for older people, support for those living with mental health challenges, community engagement initiatives and pathways into work and volunteering. Its work is locally focused, responding to the specific needs of communities in Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea and surrounding boroughs.

Octavia Foundation Charity Shops

Octavia Foundation runs a small network of charity shops based mainly in London, particularly in west and central areas. These shops sell donated second-hand clothing, accessories, books and homewares, with proceeds helping fund the charity's housing and community support services. The shops also play a role in promoting reuse and sustainable shopping while offering affordable items to local residents.
