Disability

Hamelin Trust

They help their clients to develop life skills and find independence, gain employment, take part in community activities, and provide residential care and respite to support their families.

Hamelin Trust have expanded their work to help Ukrainian refugees and migrants who are disabled, as they arrived in Essex following the war in Ukraine. A grant from us has supported this project.

Andy Archer, from Hamelin, said “One of the key difficulties for disabled Ukrainian refugees and migrants is finding specially adapted homes and access to appropriate services. ECF’s grant helped us to increase our capacity to ensure these families received full wrap-around support and helped them settle and integrate into their local community.”
