Story
Room to Heal is a healing community for people who have survived torture, trafficking, and other forms of organised violence. We aim to enable our members to heal from their traumatic experiences, find renewed meaning in life and integrate into the UK through our holistic therapeutic programme. Every week, our members meet and participate in therapeutic groups, cooking and gardening. We also run retreats outside of London. Alongside this, we provide practical help, supporting members to access suitable accommodation, healthcare, and legal support to help them face the significant challenges of the UK's asylum process. When people come to Room to Heal, they become members of a supportive community and, through this, they begin to feel safe, regain trust, and find new meaning in their lives.
