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.
As we come to the end of our 50th year, our newsletter gives us the opportunity to reflect back on the amazing support and work the charity has achieved over the last 50 years.
Despite the uncertain climate this year The 3H Foundation are proud to say we were able to continue supporting those with disabilities and carers through our range of programmes.
