"
I came to The Beehive Project after being in hospital for 5 years. I was terrified, lonely, I didn't trust anyone, I felt that recovery and making any sort of life was impossible.
Having Rhi as my key worker, I believe, is the reason why I have come so far. She goes above and beyond for me, she is amazing to talk too, she made me feel safe here, she pushes me to go out and see old friends, she believed in me more than I did and I hadn't had that before. She taught me to trust again, and not only her but the whole team. Rhiannon believed in me, I'm now starting college in September. I can see a future. She works so hard and I think she really cares about seeing us progress. I always want to make her proud

‘[My daughter] has only been at The Beehive Project a few weeks and already I am impressed. She received a well thought out transition, received a very warm welcome, and is very well supported and looked after by all the staff [...] She is progressing and I can see this already. The staff are amazing and we are lucky to have found The Beehive Project.’

"I feel very strongly that the local need for services such as The Beehive Project – particularly with regards to supported living arrangements for young people aged 16-25 – is very significant. I have worked in Children’s Services for a short time and can already establish that there is a high need for specific support for the young people we support between 16-18 in particular, especially with regards to those who are living in difficult situations while managing their mental health and receiving support with learning disabilities and autism. The Beehive Project have been incredibly supportive in a short space of time to a young person open to our service and have enabled her to feel stable for the first time in a long time, while introducing structure and activity into her life. The support that I have witnessed and co-worked so far has been strong and is individually suited to the needs of each young person in question. I have worked with Rhiannon (manager at Acacia House) for around six weeks and can see the care and support that she and her colleagues put into this house and all of the service users who live there, in order to create a homely, supportive and caring atmosphere to young people who have high needs in terms of mental health and learning disability support."
