The Beehive Project

The Beehive Project Southampton is committed to improving the outcome for children and young people who are looked after or leaving care. We create and maintain an environment that promotes well-being, supports learning, personal development and social inclusion through empowering relationships.

Young people are at the heart of everything we do at The Beehive Project. We strive to ensure safety and wish to improve the outcome of every young person within our care. The housing and support we provide offers 16-25-year-olds fantastic opportunities to further themselves and bring happiness to their lives.

By creating an environment rich in resources and opportunities for clients to thrive, the aim is to instil hope and a positive future towards living a valuable independent life – whatever that means. We understand that an individual’s history and background do not and should not navigate or define their current understandings and situation. Because of this, situational awareness and resourcefulness are used to promote people to thrive.

The Beehive Project combines the stability of the care services with the flexibility and energy of a private company. We are very proud to provide positive, effective support solutions to complicated problems. An expansion of care to those who require a higher level of support is now something we are enthralled to be able to offer.

Innovation – We are a dynamic, fast paced organisation, actively seeking out exciting, and revolutionary ways of improving outcomes, ethically and safely but without fear of recourse, or recompense.

Collaboration - We Invite, consider, and integrate multiple perspectives in decision making as a means of deepening social justice, enhancing well-being, and good governance. Working collaboratively to both support and challenge colleagues.

Empowerment – We believe that empowering an individual is crucial to ensuring they experiences a sense of control over their life. Allowing them to make sense of their universe and take ownership and responsibility for their own learning, well-being, and happiness.

Ethical Integrity – We are committed to practicing safely, transparently, and competently with due consideration of any relevant social policy and legal and ethical boundaries of our profession. Bringing at the same time a critical awareness to any tensions existing between our values and such policies.

Empathy – We recognise that personal histories, characteristics, and social and political contexts have brought each person to their current understanding of the world. We bring this knowledge to the forefront of our relationship with the people we support.

A Sense of Fun – We understand the value of creative playfulness and adventure and its pivotal role in creating nurturing positive relationships.
