Hft is a national charity supporting people with learning disabilities and their families. Everything we do focuses on helping the people we support live the life they choose.
Our approach
We work in partnership with the people we support, their families and health professionals to develop effective, highly personalised services.
Supported Living
Through supported living, we can support people to live however and wherever they choose.
While we support more and more people living in their own homes, sometimes residential care is the best option. We offer high-quality residential care in some of the regions we operate in.
We also offer flexible short breaks, respite and holidays from just a few hours here and there to longer trips abroad.
We also provide specialist support services to those with specific or complex care needs.
Family Carers
If you have a friend or family member with a learning disability, Hft's national Family Carer Support Service offers free information and support for family carers.
- We provide one-to-one support for family carers by telephone, letter or email.
- We run workshops where you can meet other family carers, and find out more about the things that matter to you such as family carer rights, local housing and support, health and well-being and Personal Budgets for the person you care about.
- We develop a huge range of family carer-focused resources about issues that affect you.
Personalised Technology
Hft is the UK's recognised leader in using Personalised Technology, sometimes referred to as Assistive Technology, to enhance people's lives and increase their independence.
Short breaks
We offer a number of flexible short breaks and respite care services for the people we support and their families, ranging from just a few hours to several days.
Hft Anglian supports people with learning disabilities and their families accross Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Essex.
