Who we help...& How

_____________________________________________________________________________

LHH is a national charity which provides financial help 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 will be considered for a grant. Please see Application for Assistance for further information.

Financial assistance is provided under the following two categories:-

• Regular Beneficiaries
  LHH supports between 70 - 80 ill and disabled people who have been identified as being in need of on going help.  We provide quarterly payments to help with daily living costs and keep in regular contact via quarterly newsletters, birthday & Christmas cards and a visit from the Secretary once a year.
  
  
• One-off Grants
  These are generally awarded towards essential household items and specialist equipment not available from statutory agencies.  When funds are available, we also offer grants towards carer's breaks.
