We help those who are living on a very low income, receiving the appropriate welfare benefits and who have exhausted all other funding sources including statutory funding, occupational, local and specialist charities. To be eligible, applicants must present with a physical or diagnosed mental health condition, learning disability, or be a carer for an adult or child with a disability.

What we do

• Assistance is offered to all ages; help for children should be made with a parent/legal guardian as the lead applicant.
• LHH operates and distributes funds across the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland).
• LHH issues grants of up to £300. These are generally awarded for or towards essential household items and specialist equipment not available from statutory agencies.
• We also provide ongoing financial assistance. LHH currently supports around 70 ill and less able people with regular financial help.
• Depending on available funds, one-off payments are made for carer's breaks. We understand the role of a carer is both onerous and tiring.
