The vision of the Haven + London is to preserve and nurture the spiritual, emotional and tangible well-being of the thinkers, shapers and makers abiding in the arts and creative industries in central London.

The Haven's aim is to provide one-to-one pastoral care, together with networking, arts and music events. It have a team of professional counsellors, therapists and coaches to enable it to deliver its mentoring in London.

It aim is to provide a physical space as a home for The Haven + London’s activities and as a place for creativity to flourish.

By providing exhibition and events spaces; a chaplaincy team on hand to talk to in confidence; meeting rooms; and places for contemplation, the Haven uses its base as location for spiritual reflection tailored to artists and creatives, for workshops, for arts and for creative performances.

As a social enterprise/charity it seeks partners: individuals, companies and institutions that share its vision and can provide expertise and resources to make this a reality.

Achievements: As part of my role as trustee, I drafted and implemented The Haven's Global Data Protection Regulation policy and procedures, provided ad hoc legal advice and assisted with introductions to corporate supporters. Show less
