The National Council of the Catholic Handicapped Fellowship (NCCHF) was founded in 1956 for the welfare of physically and mentally handicapped youngsters mainly, but not exclusively, of the Catholic faith. The Fellowship acknowledges the responsibilities of parents and guardians of these young people to provide for their spiritual, physical and social welfare. The NCCHF gives Catholics and others an opportunity to help all handicapped people of all denominations.

All work is voluntary and carried out by eight independent Diocesan Fellowships in the Roman Catholic dioceses of: Birmingham, Brentwood, Clifton, Hexham and Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Salford and Shrewsbury.

Activities vary between areas depending upon local needs but usually include family care, meetings, clubs, holidays, Christmas parties and other social events for the benefit of the Fellowship's members.
