STORM also has its own nursery complete with a sensory room to cater for children with special educational needs and children who have suffered trauma and abuse.
Her Majesty met survivors and joined a reception, where some of the activities that STORM offers were showcased including candle making, art lessons and computer skills.
The Queen Consort also met Kanya King CBE, the founder of the MOBO Awards and a supporter of the charity.
