Linking Help with Hope

LHH (Linking Help with Hope) helps 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.

Financial assistance may be provided under the following three categories:

One-off grants LHH issues grants of up to £250. These are generally awarded for or towards essential household items and specialist equipment not available from statutory agencies.

Extended Assistance Extended Assistance beneficiaries will also receive quarterly newsletters, birthday and Christmas cards as well as a personal visit from the Secretary once a year where possible. We may (at our discretion depending on funding availability) contribute towards special occasions such as birthdays or seasonal events and breaks away from home.

Carers’ breaks 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.

How to access

Application for assistance to LHH must be made through a third party sponsor from a professional agency (e.g. representative from social services, health service, housing association, tenancy support agency, CAB or another charity. eligible for help, applicant must have settled status in UK and be suffering from an illness or disability (or caring for someone with an illness/disability)
