We’re delighted to welcome back Hekate Papadaki who has assumed the role of CEO at Manor Gardens as of November 2022. Hekate previously worked as the Advocacy Service Manager at Manor Gardens between 2008 – 2013 where she founded our notable FGM service.
After leaving Manor Gardens, Hekate took on leadership roles at Rosa Fund UK and Barnardo’s leading advocacy and policy work around FGM, work for which she was recognised as one of the most influential Londoner’s by the Evening Standard newspaper. She later led Hestia’s policy work on modern slavery leading a number of influential research publications and launching a landmark police super-complaint on modern slavery in 2018. Hekate laid the groundwork for the Trussell Trust’s flagship Pathfinder Programme to end the reliance on food banks before returning to Manor Gardens.

Garden Party for everyone

Manor Gardens put on a special Garden Party for all its clients on Tuesday 23rd May as part of Mental Health Awareness Week celebrations. Clients and staff mingled in our beautiful gardens and had an excellent meal prepared by staff.
It was an excellent opportunity to share stories, meet new people and get away from cares. The event was an addition to our weekly activities at our centre, which include two coffee mornings, chair yoga, conversation cafe and painting class as well as special groups to explore mental wellbeing called It’s OK not to be OK.
