Between 2021-2023, we were fortunate enough to receive funding from The National Lottery, Persimmon Homes, South Yorkshire Police and the Crime Commissioner, Screwfix, and other generous projects and individuals.
We remain committed to expanding our not-for-profit services. In 2025/26, we will build on the success of our service, diversify our team of Directors and volunteers, launch our 'Bee Community Minded' (BCM) project/s.
BCM will continue working with local partners to address the unmet needs in our community, with the vision to deliver high-quality and accessible therapeutic and wellbeing services and resources.
This service is for our local families, and it’s essential that we develop it with your views and support. Here’s how you can help:
Let us know what therapeutic and wellbeing support is needed so we can allocate our resources accordingly. Your opinions are crucial in helping us explain to potential funders why their support is necessary.
Visit our social media and share our projects and resources with anyone who might benefit or wish to offer support.
Individuals, teams, or businesses can fundraise on our behalf. There are so many fun ways to contribute:
We gratefully accept donations of items we can use in our services and projects, such as soft toys, handmade items like worry monsters, art supplies, and materials for our outdoor therapeutic spaces.
We will be organiing ongoing fundraising events and will provide updates on our website and social media regarding any donation needs. Your contributions help us continue offering low-cost or no-cost services to the community.
Please note, our Community Interest Company operates solely for not-for-profit purposes. The Executive Director is a registered professional, and our team of non-executive directors comes from various professional and community backgrounds. All financial and non-financial donations are managed by an accountable business support team, and financial transactions are processed through business banking systems, managed by an externally appointed chartered accountant.
Your trust in our transparency and accountability is essential to us.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about our project. Your support helps us continue making a positive impact in the community.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our services.
Enquiries are usually answered within 7 working days. If you need access to urgent support please see our Signposting Page for other services who may be able to help.
For Local Authority/NHS/Education/Insurance funded referrals and enquiries please get in touch through the contact form for further information.
For self-funded referrals please look through the profiles of our team. Where it is indicated with a green tick on the Practitioner profile page, this means that the Practitioner has capacity for privately funded referrals. Please email the Practitioner directly to discuss your needs.
Please be aware that we receive significantly more requests for support than our service has the capacity to accept.
Our voluntary Directors are working hard to develop our service, access charitable grants and fundraising capacities and increase accessibility to helpful local and national signposting and self-help materials in order to address some of this need. When we have low-cost, or funded no-cost therapeutic interventions available we will update this on here and via our Social Media pages.
Please see BEE Community Minded to explore ways you can support this part of our service.

All of our team are self-employed associates/independent practitioners. For professional quality assurance and safeguarding measure, we check that anyone offering services is : professionally qualified and registered, DBS checked, declare that they are not subject to any current complaints, have suitable clinical/modality supervision and have professional insurances in place to practice.
Any associate practitioner or independent practitioner using our building should be able to provide you with details of their professional registering body as well as details of their professional background, experience, privacy and complaints policies.
You can also contact our Service Director directly via the contact form if you have any concerns about the professional conduct of anyone offering services on our behalf or from our building.
For Local Authority/NHS/Education/Insurance funded referrals please contact us directly to discuss your referral needs and for a quote for work.
All of our team are self-employed associates and set their own fee structure dependent on professional qualifications and experience. The type of practitioner needed will be dependent on presenting need and clinical/therapeutic complexity. We appreciate that this is a difficult area to navigate when looking for someone to help with your therapeutic needs. All privately funded practitioners will ideally provide an initial, brief no cost discussion to explore your needs and ensure that the modality of work that they offer is suitable, or signpost you to another suitably qualified professional and/or service.
As a rough guideline for privately funded referrals; a counselling or wellbeing session might cost £25-45 per session, a psychotherapy session might cost £50-£80 per session and a session with a Clinical Psychologist or Senior/Specialist Therapist might cost £80+ per session. Many of our team offer sliding scales and concessions where possible.
We are sometimes able to offer low cost/no cost therapeutic sessions through our charitable projects either via our team offering pro bono/concessionary sessions or when we have trainee therapists in residence. Please see BEE Community Minded for more information and follow our social media pages for updates or see ‘How do I make a referral’ for signposting to other services who may be able to help.
All of our team are self-employed associates who offer a range of appointment times between 8am and 8pm Mon to Fri, and 8am to 3pm Saturday.
