3H Holiday Fund
Overview
Organised Group Holidays
3H have built an enviable reputation over many years for providing subsidised group holidays at well researched venues for the physically disabled and respite for their carers. Where many may think it is just not possible to get away, 3H have a wealth of experience in making it happen, from organising accommodation, transport, activities and, most importantly, care.
Each holiday has two experienced leaders and care is provided by volunteer helpers. There is always either a doctor/nurse or access to local medical facilities. Grant Programme Holidays Every year, 3H runs a programme offering grants to assist physically or mentally disabled people and their families, and carers, on low income, to organise a modest holiday for themselves. The grants are given for the accommodation part of the holiday, which must be taken in the UK.
They liaise with social workers and other caring organisations to assist applicants and to identify those needing assistance. Most funding is for individuals and their families – however, a few larger grants may be awarded to groups organising holidays for their disabled members or carers.
Grant Programme holidays are open to applicants throughout the UK although a lot of the funds donated to 3H are to be spent in specific regions. Application forms can be requested by phone or email and, when completed, must be submitted with evidence of disability and low income.
