Volunteering at The Hive
Volunteers are central to the work we do at The Hive.
It is their passion and never-ending support that allows us to provide the services that we offer!
We are currently particularly in need of volunteers for our Tuesday and Saturday afternoon sessions (12.30 - 4). Please get in touch if you could help.
Interested in volunteering?
"I enjoy helping at The Hive. Everyone is very happy, and they are always pleased to see you, which makes it all worthwhile. Long may it continue to be a safe and happy place."

Activity Volunteer
In addition to our drop-in, we run activity sessions on the mornings of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, in addition to discos and Hive Hangouts. Volunteers at these sessions assist in the facilitation of activities and ensure that they are accessible to all members who wish to participate. Each session is planned by a member of staff who is always present to run the session. Details of what goes on at each of these sessions can be found on our 'What We Do' page.
