The Octavia Foundation supports people and communities to become safer, more secure and more connected.

As part of the Abri Octavia family, the Foundation is our lead driver of social purpose. We work alongside residents, colleagues and local partners in the places where need is greatest, showing up consistently and building trust over time. We don’t believe in quick fixes. Instead, we commit to neighbourhoods for the long term, focusing our resources where they can make the biggest difference.

Our work combines immediate support like income, energy and crisis advice, and investing in youth and their development with place‑based investment that strengthens communities and wellbeing. We start by listening. Using local insight and experience we shape support that reflects what people need and build on the strengths already in our communities.

We know life has become harder for many households. The cost of living has risen, energy bills are higher, and worries about housing, work and isolation are affecting families and communities. We’re here to respond with practical help today and work alongside communities to create lasting change.
