“A long-term illness is very difficult. A chance to escape and relax for a few days does a world of good. Especially for my mental health.”

A break away doesn’t make the challenges of a disability or a long-term illness disappear, but this World Mental Health Day we wanted to recognise that while for some, holidays are a luxury, for those we support they can be a lifeline.

It can be a chance to step away from the routines and challenges of everyday life and ease some of the everyday pressures.

It’s a chance to make memories, experience something new and have something to look forward to, all of which are important for our mental health.

It’s also a chance for carers to take a breath, recharge and enjoy precious time together.

When you're living with a disability or a long-term illness, or supporting someone who is, life can sometimes become centred around appointments, care, finances and what needs to happen next.

A break gives you a few day where you can simply be together.

That's why we believe holidays aren't a luxury; they can be a lifeline.

We can only offer our holiday grants and group holidays with the generosity of our supporters. If you’d like to make a difference this World Mental Health Day, you can text to donate:

Don’t take our word for it…

There’s nothing like getting feedback from people who go on our Group Holidays. Thank you to Katie for sharing her experience of 3H holidays.

She focuses on inclusivity, being able to have time to yourself, and not having to have carers with her at all times.

A holiday isn’t just a luxury, it’s a chance to step out of the everyday and take a moment to regroup, recharge and make new memories.

We subsidise our Group Holidays with generous donations from our supporters. If you’d like to give more people the opoprtunitiy to experience memory-making moments, you can donate via text.

This happy chap was one of the previous Challenge Hamper activities- a friendly Cress Head!

Our recipients received everything they needed to make him, googly eyes and all!

Right now we’re busy behind the scenes pulling together the exciting challenges for the next Challenge Hampers, which will be sent out ready for October half-term.

Our Challenges are for young people aged 13 to 25 who are either a young person with disabilities or a young carer.

➡️ SAVE THIS! ⬅️

If you’re a young carer or disabled person aged 13-25 (or the parent/guardian of one!), this is for YOU.

Just before October half term, we’ll be sending out our next Challenge Packs.

Our Teens PLUS Challenge Packs are for young people with disabilities and young carers across the country. Each pack comes with a range of activities to try at home so they are able to try new things and develop new hobbies. Past activities include brownie making, planting cress heads and paracord keyrings. We supply everything needed for the activities so they can just have fun.

Applications are open to all those with disabilities and young carers aged 13 -25.

You can apply via the TeensPLUS page of our website.

Guess the location?

One of the great things about our holiday grant programme is that our beneficiaries get to choose their holiday destination. Margaret was awarded a holiday grant to enable her and her husband to have a short UK break. But can you guess where they went? We’ve shared some cryptic clues to help…

Drop your guesses in the comments!

This is the impact the break had on Margaret:

“It is amazing on how just a few days away make such a difference, physically and mentally. It felt as soon as we reached our destination we could finally breathe. We returned refreshed and ready to accept challenges thrown at us.”

For the carers we support, the end of the school summer holidays might mean the first time they can take a little break after 6 weeks of putting everyone else first.

This year we wanted to recognise this by picking a carer at random from our carer register and sending them a “Back to School mini hamper” filled with self care essentials for a moment of “you-time”.

Swipe to see what we included.

We can only offer these hampers with the generous donations from our supporters. We’ve made it super-simple to donate now by texting.

One thing we love most about our Adult Supported Holidays? Making friends…of all sorts!

Guests on the last trip to Nutley Edge in July were introduced to this furry friend as part of an animal encounter.

We run these breaks in partnership with and our next holiday application forms will be released in November.

Don’t forget to follow us as we’ll be sharing photos of our September holiday very soon and releasing dates for 2027.

Instagram versus Reality

We know that for families with a disabled member, a holiday isn’t quite as simple as Instagram makes it look. Things like finding accessible accommodation, arranging transport and care, and sorting specialist equipment take time and energy behind the scenes and add a layer of stress to what should be a break.

One thing we’ve been certain of is that money shouldn’t be the thing that holds families back from having a break. Our Holiday Grant Programme assists people with disabilities and their carers, who are on a low income, to enable them to organise a break for themselves in the UK.

We currently have funding available in the following areas:

Cornwall, Devon, Tunbridge Wells and Oxfordshire.
Children in Somerset (TA postcodes)
Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire

If you’d like to explore whether you could be eligible for financial support to take a holiday, head to our website for all the details and to apply.

When we share the number of holiday grants we give every year, it’s easy to forget that behind every number is a real family who really benefited from the chance to take a modest break away.

With the help of a Holiday Grant from The 3H Foundation Harley and her family were able to take a break away in the UK for the first time ever. And the thing they most enjoyed? The chance to spend time together and have fun.

We believe every family with a disabled member deserves the chance to get away for a break. Our Holiday Grant programme offers low-income families a grant towards the accommodation costs to make this possible. We can only do this with your support. We’ve made it super-simple to donate by text:

Today is Youth Mental Health Day and we’d like to shine a light on how tricky it can be for young people to talk about how they’re really feeling.

For young carers and disabled young people, life can sometimes be full of extra pressures, worries or challenges. Often just the day-to-day tasks that we take for granted can take a lot of effort.

So, today, we wanted to share that it’s ok not to be ok.

Sometimes support starts with a question as simple as:

“How are you really doing?”
”Do you want to talk about it?”
As well as making time for rest, fun and connection.

That’s what our hampers aim to do. We will be sending our next Young Carer Hampers out in time for October half term. They will be full of goodies to boost the mental health of the young carers we support.

If you don’t follow us already, hit follow to see the exciting things we’re filling our hampers with this autumn.
