Octavia is a London-based nonprofit that helps thousands of people live happily, independently, and with the care they need, primarily through housing, support, and care services. Drawing on the legacy of its founder, Victorian philanthropist Octavia Hill, the organization seeks to create homes and environments that enable people to thrive. Its work spans Homes, Support, and Care, encompassing building and managing affordable housing, community-based programs, and services for older and vulnerable adults. The organization operates in a holistic, personal way, supported by volunteers and proceeds from charity shops that fund its activities. Based in London and active since 1865, Octavia has undergone organizational changes in recent years, including a December 2024 merger with the Abri Group.
