At Birch & Bees CIC, we are dedicated to creating an affordable and inclusive space where individuals of all ages can explore, learn, and grow.  The main focus of the organisation is to provide opportunities for local teenagers and the Home Educating Community.  However opportunites for children and adults of all ages will be coming soon.  This will either be organised by us directly, or by us advertising other community groups that are being run currently.

Why Birch & Bees?

The Birch signifies new starts and opportunities.  The Bee is very busy and sociable.  The combination signifies new opportunities for busy bees!

Founded by Rebecca Howley-Rivers who has a background in Human Resources (HR), Learning and Development and now qualified in Complementary Therapy, with an emphasis on mindfulness and meditation.    Rebecca also understands the world of Home Education having done so for many years. She  has extensive professional and personal experience of working with neurodivergent individuals and is passionate about support and accessibility for all.  After leaving the Human Resources field, Rebecca has gained experience in running a number of community groups and setting up initiatives, particularly for young people.

The main aim of the organisation is to bring new opportunities to local teenagers and the Home Educated Community in a safe and supportive environment.  We are all about the local community and advertise other local groups free of charge too.

All volunteers hold Enhanced DBS clearance and we are insured for your peace of mind.

We are also keen to hear from all individuals who facilitate groups within Chatteris so we can advertise them to out members, free of charge.

Please contact us with details of your local group.
