Making change happen: Campaigns at Hft


Hft works with learning disabled adults to ensure they can live their life, their way. Together we speak up and work with decision makers, such as MPs who work in Parliament, to make positive change for learning disabled people.

Read the thoughts of our CEO, Steve Veevers, in his blog ‘Mind the political gap – it’s time to get serious about social care reform’.

Our Christmas appeal

The theme for our Christmas appeal this year is ‘Together, we make it possible.’ It’s about celebrating independence, creativity and confidence for learning disabled people.

With the right support, learning disabled people can find ways to connect with others, try new things and celebrate what makes them unique. But in the UK, 1 in 2 people with complex disabilities experience chronic loneliness.

It doesn’t have to be this way. We provide support that means learning disabled people can be independent, build confidence, and find meaningful friendships and paid employment.

Together, we can build a future where every learning disabled person is seen, heard and supported.
