Funding Partnerships


Our Funding Partnerships team’s goal is to build mutually rewarding relationships with funding partners. These include grant making organisations as well as philanthropic individuals.

The team secures vital income for important projects that depend wholly on voluntary income. For prospective donors, this offers the satisfaction of being able to support the area of work of most interest to them, with the knowledge that the donation is making an important contribution to improve the lives of learning disabled adults.

Examples of Hft projects that are wholly dependent on fundraised income:

Family Carers Support Service (FCSS)

The FCSS is a free national service providing invaluable information and support to family carers of learning disabled and autistic adults.

Luv2meetU

Luv2meetU supports learning disabled and autistic adults to develop friendships and relationships, widening their circle of friends, and helping to prevent isolation.

Capital Projects

To ensure that facilities meet the changing needs of the people we support, we have an ongoing capital development programme that supports both the expansion of our services, and the relocation of our existing services, creating new services where required.

Example – Gloucester Capital Development Programme

We recently supported 55 people, who were living at two rural sites in Gloucestershire, to move into new specially designed accommodation in the community.

All 55 people now have homes that they are happy in, living with or near their friends, that cater for their needs and allow them to continue to live the best lives possible.

Example – new specialist services

In 2016, we opened a new service specialising in support for people with Prader-Willi Syndrome and people with challenging behaviour. More recently, we opened a new transition service for young people in Bedfordshire.
