Founded over 35 years ago, 3H helps disabled children and adults, and their carers to get away on a well-deserved break - to get some relief from the severe stresses of their everyday situations. Many lead very restricted lives and have not had a period away from the same four walls for many years. It also gives carers the chance to recharge their batteries after long periods of stress and strain.

Thousands of people from all over the UK have been helped by 3H – either through organised group holidays, where they can take part in activities not normally available to them, such as sailing, abseiling or kayaking, or by way of grants to those families and carers on low incomes, who have arranged a holiday themselves in the UK.

Last year, 3H helped almost 600 people – one of whom was Sarah. She is 22 and wheelchair bound. ‘I love everything about 3H holidays, from the activities to being around such a great group of people. The holiday also gave me time away from home – giving my mum a period of respite from caring for me, as she also cares for my dad as well.’
