Northfleet Basepoint is proud to be supporting our new chosen charity Beams. Beams is a local charity that supports disabled children, young people and their families. The disabled children and young people who access their services will typically have one or more learning difficulty, complex health needs, physical or sensory impairment, challenging behaviour, Autism or severe ADHD. 

The services are divided into key areas being FAMILY ADVICE This service is to ensure parents and carers receive the right information to help them make the best choices for their disabled child. SHORT BREAKS This service offers a range of leisure activities for disabled children and young people up to the age of 25 years. DRAGONS RETREAT A short break unit providing overnight care as a short break for children and young people up to the age of 19 years. DIRECT PAYMENTS A sum of money given by the local authority to the family to be in control of their disabled child’s care and support needs. 

Their mission is to provide comprehensive support services to families of children and young people with any form of physical, learning or sensory impairment living in the Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley areas. They aim to support the whole family through a menu of services that directly benefit and assist those dealing with the challenges of raising a disabled child.
