About Us

Our Vision

We envision a society where no family impacted by counter-terror laws suffers in silence, shame, or isolation. We believe in upholding dignity, restoring hope, and empowering families who have been marginalised.

Our Mission

Our mission is to banish the ‘guilty by association’ label experienced by the wives and children of terror suspects. We believe they should not be penalized and discriminated against on the basis of accusation alone. We provide tailored, confidential, and compassionate support through a network of volunteers nationwide.

Our History

Since our founding in 2004, HHUGS has been the only UK charity dedicated to supporting families affected by national security legislation. We have helped hundreds of families with food, financial aid, emotional support, and empowerment services, growing from a small volunteer-led initiative to a nationwide organisation making a deep impact.

We strive to bring relief and support to households devastated by anti-terror raids by offering friendship in addition to emotional, financial, and practical support, advice and information.

Most importantly, we aim to empower these vulnerable women and children so they can become confident individuals and part of a wider support network.

Healing Lives Affected by Injustice

HHUGS remains a beacon of hope for families impacted by injustice. We do more than ease financial hardship — we rebuild lives, restore trust, and uplift spirits.
