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 four key areas. These are Short Breaks Services, Family Advice Service, Direct Payment Service and Dragons Retreat 6 bedded Respite Unit. We need to raise £1.5 million in order to continue our care services to the most vulnerable in society. We currently have 360 families as members accessing our support and we rely heavily on the local community and businesses for donations.
