Community-First SupportWhere your story
finds a home.
Hearth is a space for shared healing. Free for military personnel and veterans, and rooted in peer-led circles designed to make support accessible, warm, and deeply human.
The Hearth Philosophy
Mental wellness isn't a solitary journey. Hearth is built on empathy, consistency, and the steady warmth of people who understand.
Peer-Led Safety
Facilitated by those who understand. Our circles are built on shared lived experience rather than clinical hierarchies.
Consistent Connection
No more waiting lists. Hearth provides regular sessions so you can build lasting bonds within your group.
Free For Those Who Served
Hearth is free for all military personnel and veterans — because of Tom, and everyone still in that fight.
Tom Burtwell · Royal Marines Commando
For Tom Burtwell,
Royal Marines Commando.
Tom was a Royal Marines Commando — capable, well-liked, and the kind of friend his oppos described as “a legend and a damn hard b*stard.” He was also quietly fighting something nobody around him could see.
We’re not going to claim Hearth would have saved him — nobody honestly can. But losing him made it impossible to ignore the gap between the support people are offered and the support that actually meets them where they are. What service does to the mind and body is profound, and far too many people are left to carry it alone.
Hearth is our small attempt to close a bit of that gap. It is free for all military personnel and veterans, and we intend to keep it that way.
Rest easy, Tom.
A pocket-sized circle, always nearby.
The Hearth app is how you stay connected to your circle between sessions — a quiet, secure space to message your group, get support when things feel heavy, and join new peer-led circles as they open.
Hearth is currently in open beta on the Google Play Store, with the iOS version coming very soon to the App Store. Because we’re still in beta you may spot the odd rough edge or bug — if you do, please tell us. Every report helps us build something genuinely safe and useful for the people who need it.
