Depending upon incoming funds, 3H Fund has a grant programme to assist disabled people (whether physically or mentally disabled) their families and carers, on low income, to organise a modest holiday for themselves. Grants are given for the accommodation part of a holiday and the holiday must be taken in the UK.
The programme is open to applicants throughout the UK although some funding donated to 3H Fund has to be spent in specific regions. Applicants are asked to complete an application form and submit it with evidence of disability and low income. Full details are found in the guidance notes which accompany the form.
We liaise with social workers and other caring organisations to assist applicants and, when possible, to identify those needing assistance.
Most funding is for individuals and their families, however a few larger grants are awarded to groups organising holidays for their disabled members or carers.
The UK Holiday Grant Programme is now closed.
All applications that have been received during November are currently being processed. You will be informed in writing by the end of January if you are successful or not.
Please note: Applications received after deadlines will not be considered. To avoid disappointment and delays, please ensure you complete the application form in full and provide the appropriate evidence required.
Announcements regarding further opening times in 2012 will be put on the website in due course. This will depend on incoming funds.
