Our allotment team have been busy bees recently!

They were delighted to welcome the lovely Culmore Women’s Group last week
Allotment this week.

The group has recently begun its own allotment project in Culmore and came along to see how a more established growing space can support wellbeing, friendship and community.

Our wonderful volunteers once again gave everyone a warm Hive welcome, sharing
stories, gardening ideas, and plenty of encouragement.

A special thank you to Theresa for her delicious homemade Guinness bread, and to Angela, Anna and Jacquie for helping make the visit so enjoyable.

We look forward to a return visit when the group establish their allotment soon.

Don't forget, the deadline for applications for the role of Family Engagement Coordinator at Hive Cancer Support is Friday August 28th.

This is a great opportunity to become part of our vibrant and committed team, working in the heart of the local community and making a difference to those affected by cancer.

Team Hive were delighted to welcome visitors from the University of Minnesota to our beautiful allotment yesterday!

Hosted by Far and Wild, the group is taking part in a two-week summer electiveexploring Decolonisation and Ireland.

Their visit focused on non-mainstream voices and regenerative approaches to growing, food and agriculture.

Lorcan from Far and Wild included the Hive allotment as part of the programme, giving our visitors an opportunity to see how this shared space supports learning, wellbeing, connection and sustainable growing.

Jacquie, our Education and Prevention Officer, and volunteers Theresa, Angela and Anna gave the group a really warm welcome and some of Theresa's famous Guinness bread!

We were delighted to welcome CEO of Richard Spratt to our offices at the Gasyard Centre yesterday!
