What age group does Beam Support cater to?
We specialize in supporting young people between the ages of 16 and 25. Our homes are specifically organized by age, with dedicated units for those aged 16–17 and separate units for young adults aged 18–25.
Where are your homes located and are they staffed?
We operate five homes across Harrow, London. All our units are staffed 24 hours a day by experienced professionals, including educators and mentors. For residents with higher needs, we can also provide “awake night” support to ensure continuous safety and supervision.
How many residents live in each unit?
To maintain a high quality of service and a “family environment,” our units typically accommodate only 3 to 4 young people. This small-scale setting allows for tailored support and ensures positive relationship matching between residents.
What kind of 1-on-1 support do residents receive?
Each young person receives a personalized care plan with dedicated support hours ranging from 5 to 21 hours per week, depending on their individual needs and risk category. This support covers everything from CV building and education to cooking and budgeting.
Can residents stay with Beam Support long-term?
Yes. There are no strict time limits on our services. We provide care for as long as required, working toward a “Progression Pathway.” Once a resident is ready for more independence, they can transition into a shared flat with ongoing outreach support from our team.
