We Are Beams


We Are Beams is a local charity that supports disabled children and their families in Kent and Medway. The disabled children and young people who access our services are aged between 4-19 years. They will usually have one or multiple learning difficulties, complex health needs such as Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy or another life limiting disease, physical or sensory impairment, challenging behaviour as a result of their disability, Autism or severe ADHD. Our work is divided up into six key areas. These are Short Breaks Services, Family Advice Service, Direct Payment Service, Payroll, Brokerage and Dragon’s Retreat 6 bedded Respite Unit.
We need to raise £2 million this year in order to continue our care services to the most vulnerable in society. At any one time, we support 450 families.
