Tonia and kiri have helped me remain connected in a online world that overwhelms me and excluded me from life. Having struggled with speaking over many years they have been the voice I needed to access services I need. Through patience and perseverance, they work with me at my own pace. They support me every week with anything I struggle with. I am proud to call them my friends.

What are we in need of? People that we can trust, networks that work - we all need to put these things first in our communities. The vulnerable who visit Holding Your Online Hands leave surprised and reassured, having come across the terrain of double standards, of neglect, of bureaucracy which bypasses sincere concern. Here they navigate together with staff to receive practical resolve as aid. Holding Your Online Hands can be a template that all local authorities can learn from - real compassion in action.

I came to Tonia & Kiri in early 2025 when I was very new to Belsize Park and my 5 year old daughter hadn’t arrived from Iran yet. I was in desperate need of help with my food and energy costs that weren’t possible to cope with. I was feeling very low in life. We spent many hours together and week-by-week, step-by-step, eventually I started to cope and see a way forward. Thanks to them, I am now in a happy place, and definitely recommend them to anyone who is in the same position as I once was.
