TIME EXTENDED – BUT WE NOW ONLY HAVE 15 HOURS LEFT! 🚨
Our fundraising deadline has been extended, and as of now we have just 15 hours left to raise the remaining £424 to hit our target.

⚠️ ALL-OR-NOTHING PLATFORM
Spacehive is all-or-nothing. If we don’t hit the target in time, we get nothing.

👶 WHAT IS THIS PROJECT?
We’re launching healthy cookery sessions for 30 young children (under 5) and their families. These sessions support children in the early stages of a possible disability diagnosis (and those not yet on a pathway who still need help).

❤️ WHY IT MATTERS
Children build fine motor skills, try new foods and grow in confidence. Parents get 1-to-1 guidance from a trained Family Advisor on education and family wellbeing.

🙏 WE NEED YOUR HELP
Every pound counts.

Community Spirit in Action!
What happens when a community comes together to pull a 32 tonne Army truck for two miles? An incredible show of strength, teamwork and support for We Are Beams! 💜

On 25th July, Welling and Bexleyheath came together for Uniformed Services Day, with more than 5,000 spectators cheering on the teams. Six trucks took part, raising an amazing £6,000 for six local charities, including Beams.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make this incredible event possible. Your support will help us continue providing vital services for disabled children and their families.

Last year, we offered 363 activity-day places to disabled children!

Thanks to your support, so many children were able to join trips, try new activities, make friends and create special memories they might not otherwise have had the chance to experience.

This is the real impact of We Are Beams: inclusive opportunities, joyful moments and spaces where every child can take part and be themselves.

Thank you for helping make this possible. 💜

(as of 10:05am on 25.08.26)

WE NEED YOUR HELP! We’re just £508 away from making this happen 🚨

At We Are Beams, we’re launching a brand new project to support 30 young children (under 5) and their families through fun, hands-on healthy cookery sessions 🥣
These sessions will support children in the early stages of a possible disability diagnosis, and those not yet on a diagnosis pathway who may still need help. Children will build fine motor skills, try new foods and grow in confidence, while parents receive 1-to-1 guidance from a trained Family Advisor on everything from education to family wellbeing.

Here’s the catch: Spacehive is an all-or-nothing platform. If we don’t hit our target in time, we get nothing.
Every single pound counts right now.
