LHH (League of Helping Hand)
LHH is a national charity providing financial assistance to people who are in hardship due to illness or disability. This includes physical and mental health problems, learning disabilities and people caring for an adult or child with a disability.
Only those who are living on a very low income, receiving the appropriate welfare benefits and have exhausted all other funding sources including statutory funding, local and occupational charities, will be considered for a grant.
Financial assistance may be provided under the following two categories:
- One-off Grants
These are awarded towards essential white goods, beds/bedding and school uniform - please check our website for up to date information - Regular Beneficiaries
LHH supports around 70 ill and disabled people who have been identified as needing on-going financial help. Quarterly gifts help contribute towards daily living expenses and regular contact is maintained through quarterly newsletters, birthday and Christmas cards as well as a personal visit from the Secretary once a year where possible.
Referral from third-party sponsor is required for application (representative from Social Services, Health Service, Housing Association, Tenancy Support Agency, Carer's Centre, CAB or another Charity)
