The 3H Foundation

The 3H Foundation was formed in 1975 by a family who found that there are very limited holiday opportunities for families with a disabled member.
3H supports people with disabilities to have a break whether on independent group holidays, through family holiday grants or short break activities.  We support adult and young carers to have a period of respite both through days out, breaks away or through home based respite hampers.

“We strive to ensure that equality, diversity and inclusion are at the core of who we are
and the work we do in line with our mission statement.”
