We Are Beams has recently achieved the Trusted Standard Level 1, recognising the excellent work it does as a third sector organisation in England.

The Trusted Standard is owned by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) and delivered by The Growth Company and is the only UK quality standard designed to help third sector organisations operate more effectively and efficiently. We Are Beams has been accredited with the Level 1 Trusted Standard, meaning they have met the minimum legal obligations and have systems and structures in place to protect the rights of users and employees. This was determined by being assessed against the 11 quality areas of The Trusted Standard: governance, planning, leadership and management, user-centred service, managing people, learning & development, managing money, managing resources, external communications, working with others, and assessing outcomes and impact.

We Are Beams is a local charity committed to supporting disabled children and their families across Kent. We offer a variety of services, including Family Advice, Short Breaks, Dragon’s Retreat Respite, Supporting Independence, and Payroll Services.

Aiming to raise £2.5 million, we work to ensure that we can continue providing essential care to the most vulnerable members of our community. Our impact goes beyond just care; we help reduce social isolation, promote friendships, enhance mental health and well-being, and provide families with the much-needed respite from the challenges of caregiving.
