Welcome to our Summer 2025 newsletter! This edition is packed with information about the charity. Read about our group holiday at Nutley Edge where guests managed to soak up the sun while enjoying days out and activities. Find out about the wonderful …
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:
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.
July marked the beginning of our 2025 adult group holidays and what a fantastic start it was! Our guests soaked up the sunshine and enjoyed a variety of memorable activities, including a captivating birds of prey show, a scenic steam train journey on the Bluebell Railway and a delightful day trip to Eastbourne.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Nutley Edge, the group shared meals, laughter and plenty of fun. From games and karaoke to delicious cake and refreshing mocktails, our guests made the most of every moment.
New friendships blossomed, and lasting memories were made. One guest shared, “I had a lovely time and have made wonderful memories. It was nice to feel independent and to be able to give my husband, who is my carer, a break.”
Another guest praised the experience, saying the entertainment and outings were “excellent.”
All in all, it was a truly amazing holiday — and just the beginning of what promises to be a wonderful year of adventures!
In 2025, we made a meaningful difference by providing the opportunity for people to get away on holidays that gave time to relax, make new friends and create lasting memories. The chance to receive home-based support, days out and group sailing holidays made a positive impact on the people we support.
