What makes Octavia Foundation different

Octavia Foundation is different because we support a wide range of people. Our projects offer individuals of all ages the opportunity to develop skills and interact with others; these projects include our befriending project for isolated people, our youth centres in Pimlico and Notting Hill - which focus on creative skills such as photography and film production - and our employment and training project which enable individuals to seek advice and volunteer. Our projects are tailored for our service users.
