independently

'without help' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'plenty in need perhaps around land's end' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'end' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'land' is 'd'.
'plenty'+'in'+'need'='plentyinneed'
'plentyinneed' anagrammed gives 'inependently'.
'inependently' placed around 'd' is 'INDEPENDENTLY'.

'and' is the link.
