Welcome to Bee-Able
Since June 2013, we have been providing support in the Selby area in response to local needs, bridging a vital gap for neurodivergent individuals, those with disabilities and their families.
Our service was founded by Lesley Senior, whose passion and dedication created a welcoming, empowering space for those who needed it most. Lesley sadly passed away in November 2023, but her legacy continues through the work we do every day, supporting individuals to reach their full potential.
We offer a safe, supportive and inclusive environment where people can build confidence, develop independence skills and connect with others, while also giving parents and carers the valuable “time out” they may need.
Our services include:
-
Group-based support for children and young people aged 8 to 18.
-
A dedicated Day Service for individuals aged 18 and above at The Bee-Hive.
-
Companionship and practical support for adults in their own homes, helping them live more independently or allowing carers time for themselves. There is no upper age limit—our support is tailored to each individual’s needs.
-
Buddying support for young people aged 12 to 18, providing one-to-one or small group mentoring to help build confidence, social skills and independence in a supportive and understanding way.
Our approach is flexible and person-centered, adapting to suit each person we work with. If you have any questions or specific requirements, please get in touch—we’d love to hear from you!

Parents Testimonial:
“My son absolutely loves attending Bee-Able club where he has many friends not only in the other children but the volunteers. When he comes home from Bee-Able he enjoys telling me all about the fun things he has done there. I have a lot of trust in the fantastic people who look after my son at Bee-Able and would recommend anyone who has a child with special needs to bring them along and see how great it is.”
“My two sons absolutely love attending the group and being on the Autistic Spectrum, it is a fantastic way for them to increase their social skills/interaction whilst being in a safe environment with knowledgeable and caring adults to look after them. What a wonderful and long awaited group."
“The 6 weeks holiday has been made easier because of the group. It is a fantastic group and the volunteers that help with the children are dedicated and a great help. Bee - Able has taken the children out to some fantastic places and while the children are there having the respite, means that we get to spend some quality time with other siblings."
