about us
Over 35 years of supporting people living with HIV in London
The Helios Centre is a holistic health charity based in King Cross serving people living with HIV and AIDS across London.
We aim to bring about improvements in the way that people deal with challenging health issues, particularly those from marginalised and deprived groups. Our clients are diverse, with a high percentage who are LGBT+ and/or from an ethnic minority. We help people develop a better quality of life by providing a range of holistic therapies and support to meet people’s individual needs.
We work mainly with people with long-term and late diagnosed HIV and those suffering serious health conditions. We provide about 160 sessions of one on one therapies per week. We also run some support groups.
The Helios Centre is run by The Helios Foundation – a registered charity.
Charity No. 1160233
“I can honestly say that the support I have received has been invaluable. The psychological, moral, spiritual, emotional, physical and mental support has been critical to my well-being.”
Helios client
“Without the support from Helios, I don’t know how I would have managed – in fact, I know I wouldn’t. I’m working more and because of your help, I am able to support others in my job.”
