Beeshive Community

Beeshive was founded in 2014 as a home for our daughter, who has severe learning disabilities, as a place where she could live independently of her family and enjoy as full a life as possible. The original plan was to set up a home for her, which was to be supported by a care providing organisation. After a year of searching - in vain- for a company who reflected our values and retained staff who were properly remunerated and trained, we decided to "go it alone". With no training in this field, but with a firm belief we could be more ambitious in challenging the perceptions of people with learning disabilities, we embarked on a wonderful journey that has become Beeshive Community. Our 'B Team' are an exceptional group of individuals with a unique perception that sees only opportunities, not obstacles. We share experiences, involve outside experts and continually push the boundaries imposed by society on people with learning disabilities. We also eat cake and laugh a lot! Our LinkedIn aims to provide network opportunities, news, activities and information. Most of all, we hope to inspire you if you are involved in the life of a person with learning disabilities.
