It feels like ages since we were open, but so much has happened since the start of 2023 at The Hive! In January, along with an awesome group of our volunteers, we emptied and dismantled the polytunnel to make way for a new log cabin which will be a warm and dry shelter for everyone that uses the site. We are thrilled with the result and cannot wait to show you around once we reopen at the end of April. We are hugely grateful to all our volunteers who helped us clear and dismantle the old polytunnel and prepare the ground for the new log cabin. We are also very grateful to all our benefactors who have made this possible, including the National Lottery, the Bury St Edmunds Quakers and Suffolk Community Foundation. We will be hosting a family day on 30th May in half term which we hope lots of our members will be able to attend to see the new cabin nicely settled in. In the meantime, our regular sessions will relaunch the week beginning 24th April and we have a slightly altered timetable for this term.
