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
In memory of Tom Burtwell,
Royal Marines Commando.
Hearth was born from loss.
Tom Burtwell was a Royal Marines Commando — tough, capable, the kind of person his brothers in arms described as "a legend and a damn hard b*stard." He was also someone who was quietly fighting a battle that nobody could see, and he lost that fight.
Tom's death is the reason Hearth exists. What service does to the mind and body is profound — the physical extremes, the things witnessed, the identity built around strength, and then the silence when the uniform comes off. Too many people carry that alone.
Hearth is free for all military personnel and veterans because of Tom, and because of every person still in that fight. You've given enough.
Rest easy, Tom.
