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.
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.
Families have made the most of the summer sun by getting away for a break with the help of our Holiday Grants. We have some Holiday Grants still available. Details are available on our Holiday Grants page.
