A Lasting Legacy: Honouring Fred Wellings’ Generosity
At The 3H Foundation, we are deeply moved by the enduring kindness of Fred Wellings, a long-time supporter whose generosity has touched many lives. This year, we were honoured to receive a donation from Mr Wellings’ estate—a gift he thoughtfully included in his Will.
With the consent of his family, we will be commemorating Mr Wellings’ legacy by naming one of our group holidays after him. These holidays are more than just a break—they are a lifeline. They offer individuals with disabilities a chance to relax, connect, and enjoy moments of joy away from the daily challenges they face.
The Power of Legacy Giving
Gifts in Wills play a vital role in sustaining small charities like ours. They allow us to plan for the future, expand our reach, and continue offering support where it’s needed most. Every legacy gift, no matter the size, helps us make a real and lasting difference.
If you’re considering leaving a gift to The 3H Foundation in your Will, we’d love to hear from you. Whether you’d like to chat over the phone or visit us in person, we’d be delighted to welcome you to our office and share more about the impact your support can have.

As we celebrate our 50th year, it’s been heartwarming to hear from so many people whose lives have been touched by 3H. One message that really stood out came from Andy, who recently had what he called an “I wonder” moment.
Andy first joined a 3H holiday 47 years ago, at just 13 years old. From that very first trip, he became part of the 3H family, going on countless adventures throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s. His memories are filled with excitement, courage, and a sense of freedom that defined his youth.
Here are just a few of the things Andy says he never would have done without 3H:
Rode the Big One in Blackpool
Went gliding over the Isle of Wight
Did a reverse bungee jump in Spain
But the most powerful thing he shared?
“Most importantly, I got to be me.”
That simple sentence says it all. 3H gave Andy not just experiences, but the space to be himself — to grow, explore, and thrive.
He also fondly remembers being featured on one of our early leaflets. “I didn’t even like that type of ice cream,” he laughed, “but I ate it anyway — it was free!”
Andy’s story is a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do. It’s not just about the holidays — it’s about the memories, the milestones, and the moments of joy that stay with you for a lifetime.
