Hector’s House April 2025 Round-up💚✨
April has been a powerful month of connection, reflection, and community. From inspiring events to heartfelt conversations, here’s a look back at what we’ve been working on together 💚
Buckinghamshire Freemasons Charity Event🤝
We had the honour of attending an event hosted by the Buckinghamshire Freemasons charity event, where we were given the opportunity to share more about our work and the impact your support helps us create.
Team Wellbeing Day🧘
Our team came together in the office this month for a coworking day that included our very own Wellbeing Workshop. It gave us all a chance to pause, check in with ourselves and each other, and experience first-hand the power of the sessions we deliver to others.
Tring Spring Fayre🌷
We had the best time at the Tring Spring Fayre run by Tring Together! From chatting with local supporters and spreading awareness to running our very own tombola, it was a joyful day filled with connection and community spirit. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by – and if you’d like to donate prizes for future tombola’s, drop us an email at hihector@hectorshouse.org.uk.
Hector’s Gentle-Man’s Club🧗
This month’s Gentle-Man’s Club involved a climbing session – creating a relaxed space for men to come together, talk openly, and support one another. Reminder: you never have to go through tough times alone.
HecTalk: A Safe Space to Speak🗣️
Our monthly HecTalk session created another supportive, stigma-free space for men to open up and connect. These sessions are all about listening without judgment, and showing up for each other through honest, real conversations.
Wellbeing Workshop with Thames Valley Police👮
We were proud to deliver another Wellbeing Workshop for Thames Valley Police this month. Supporting those who serve and protect others is so important – and we’re honoured to be part of their wellbeing journey.
Remembering Hector💚
April marked 14 years since we lost Hector. It’s a time that invites reflection, love, and strength. Though we miss him deeply, his legacy continues to inspire everything we do. Thank you for helping us honour Hector’s life by building hope, connection, and conversation.
Sooz’s 70th Birthday Fundraiser🎂
A big happy birthday to Sooz, who celebrated her 70th by fundraising for Hector’s House! We’re so grateful for her generosity, kindness, and passion. Thank you for choosing to support us on your special day 💚
Online Carers Support Group🫂
Our monthly Carers Support Group continued online, offering a safe, understanding space for carers to connect, share experiences, and look after their own wellbeing. Being a carer can be isolating – but we’re here to remind you, you’re not alone.
West Herts College Presentation🏫
We were invited to deliver our Intro to Hector’s House talk at West Herts College, where we spoke with amazing students about suicide prevention, mental health, and how young people can care for themselves and each other. One student has chosen us to deliver this session as part of her course project – we’re so touched she chose us.
Stress Awareness Month😌
Throughout April, we shared tips and reflections for Stress Awareness Month, helping our community explore ways to manage pressure, prioritise self-care, and #LeadWithLove – this year’s theme. If you missed our posts, head to our page or Library of Calm for gentle support and ideas.
And behind the scenes…💬
We continued to run multiple support sessions throughout the month – reaching those who needed a safe space to talk, reflect, and feel heard. Every conversation matters!
Whether you joined an event, shared a post, made a donation, or simply took a moment for your mental health – we are so grateful to have you in our community💚
