Hoxton Health is a small charity that was set up in 1987 to:
- Enable older people to lead independent lives within the community;
- Improve the mobility, personal resilience and independence of older adults, people with disabilities and adults with long-term health conditions;
- Offer services users coping strategies to manage long-term health conditions;
- Reduce isolation;
- Help older people make informed choices regarding their health care.
We provide a range of complementary therapies which put older people at their heart. Our therapies are also provided to people with long-term health conditions. We now offer acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, osteopathy, reflexology and different types of massage. We also run a popular foot-health toenail cutting service.
In addition, we run low-cost and free specialised and supported exercise classes to enable people to maintain and active lifestyle.
Hoxton Health is a registered charity (Charity No. 1127769) and Limited Company (Company No. 6766670).

We are lucky to have been chosen by Munro Health to continue their legacy, after they closed recently. Hoxton Health is very grateful to be able to continue their work. We are using the additional funds to support people referred through the NHS who are most in need of complementary therapy treatments.
Munro Health was set up by complementary health pioneer Lucille Munroe in the 1990’s, when as a practitioner, Lucille saw how effective treatments were for older people. You can read about Lucille and the history of Munro Health here.
