Area: Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden, South Lakes
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
We are BEE UNIQUE, an award-winning West Cumbria Based Autism Charity, set up to embrace, educate and entertain those diagnosed with and those engaged in the medical diagnosis of Autism as well as supporting their Parents, Families and Carers. As parents and carers ourselves, to two non-verbal boys with ASC and associated learning difficulties we know that this comes with incredible blessings as well as incredible challenges.
Our purpose is: To relieve the needs of those diagnosed with Autism and those who are currently engaged in the medical diagnosis of Autism and their immediate families and carers in England in particular, but not exclusively, by the provision of support and recreational activities. Our promise to those that have been diagnosed with or are engaged in the medical diagnosis of Autism is to create safe sensory learning and stimulation through the organising of events, sessions, day coach trips, support sessions & social gatherings.
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:
We provide support in many ways with the main being;
1. Supporting parents through the minefield that is gaining the correct support for their children with the EHCP process and making sure that they are in the right educational setting with the right help.
2. Giving SEN families opportunities to enjoy everyday activities without judgement. The stigma around autism is felt by every parent and most do not enjoy public sessions or feel able to join in. We book entire sessions and then either fully fund or subsidise them to the 3000+ community that we have created. These sessions include swimming, crafts and art sessions, introduction to sports, disability bikes, soft play, inflatables, animal, and magic shows and much much more. Due to the high volume of sessions BEE UNIQUE organise; parents & carers can view & book all activities filtering by locations through the BEE UNIQUE book when system https://bookwhen.com/BEEUNIQUE.

Beep Doctors (Basics Cumbria) Limited
Area: Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden, South Lakes
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
Emergency Response Doctors in Cumbria - Saving lives since 1994
Everything BEEP Doctors (BASICs) Cumbria do is all about provision of life-saving enhanced pre-hospital emergency care.
This means no matter what type of accident, incident or medical emergency you or a loved one may be involved in our team of volunteer doctors are on hand, on-call 24/7. They bring leading edge emergency medical services to patients at the site of the incident; giving them a significantly greater chance of survival.
Our 12 volunteer BEEP Doctors have specialist training in enhanced pre-hospital emergency care and provide an extra level of medical intervention not normally available until the patient reaches hospital. This stabilises the patient much sooner than would otherwise be the case and therefore improves their chances of a better long-term outcome.
We are not a big charity, with a big team, but it costs a lot to keep our doctors trained and to provide them with essential equipment and medicine. Our highly trained and well equipped volunteer doctors, located around all areas of the county, are able to overcome many of the challenges in pre hospital care that would threaten the lives of seriously ill or injured patients in the past.
BEEP Doctors (BASICs) Cumbria is not funded by the NHS and is run by volunteers and an unpaid team of BEEP Doctors, however, we do sit under the CQC registration for North West ambulance service.
How the BEEP Doctors are mobilised and get to the scene of the accident or medical incident, is as follows:
Our journey towards helping patients starts with the 999 call. At this point a skilled emergency call handler identifies the location of the call, gathers information, assesses which resources are required and assigns a triage category (based on how urgently help is required) and begins dispatching the necessary teams. There are 3 main ways that these calls can trigger a response from a BEEP Doctor:
1. Immediate Activation
All calls are coded with the type of incident that is occurring (for example, a fall, road traffic accident, fire or in the home medical emergency). Codes associated with high-risk incidents (e.g. road traffic accidents, unconscious or critically ill patients, or serious incidents such as stabbings) will immediately alert all BEEP Doctors. This activates an alert on our doctor’s mobile phones, informing them of the location and details of the incident. This system ensures that patients get the best possible chance of receiving enhanced pre-hospital care as early as possible.
If our doctors are available and ready to respond they will then put on their emergency response suits, inform the control room that they will attend the incident and start travelling to scene – usually on blue lights and sirens! For situations requiring a major incident response (e.g. a major explosion or accident with multiple casualties), our doctors will still usually travel even if they are very far from the incident.
2. Call Interrogation
As the call handler gathers more information, that may identify incidents where enhanced care from a BEEP Doctor may improve patient outcomes. Examples of this include patients who have complex medical problems or who may require an anaesthetic or advanced trauma skills.
Once the call handler has identified the need for a BEEP Doctor, they can send out a mobile phone alert in a similar way to the immediate activation system or alternatively they can contact our BEEP Doctors via their mobile numbers or on their specialised emergency radios. All of our doctors carry a specialised radio given to them by the ambulance service which allows the control room to see where our doctors are and able to pass patient and incident details to them securely.
3. Crew Request
The third and final way that our BEEP Doctors can be activated is by crew request.
Once paramedic resources arrive on scene an expert in person assessment of the incident and patients on scene may reveal a situation where a BEEP Doctor could improve patient care. This may be anything from offering an extra pair of hands, assisting with decision making and leadership or performing advanced procedures such as pre-hospital emergency anaesthesia or surgical interventions. Where this is the case, the crews can radio to the control room and the control room can contact and dispatch a BEEP Doctor to scene.
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:

The Beep Doctors have three emergency response vehicles with blue lights and sirens, with life saving equipment such as ventilators, CPR devices, drugs and surgical implements. The cars are based in the North and West areas of Cumbria and South Lakes. All doctors have the ability to respond in their own vehicles that are supplied with blue lights and sirens.
In addition to responding, several of our doctors volunteer to attend small groups and community events to spread awareness when requested.
They also provide CPR & First Aid talks and training in local businesses.
Attendance at local shows, trader events, fun days etc are also an important part of our charities fundraising efforts which is also supported by doctors on a voluntary basis, along with charity volunteers.
