Peasedown St John's new community centre, The Hive, is holding an Open Morning next week in a drive to sign up more volunteers.

Since the building was taken over by The Hive Management Team in 2020, it has quickly grown into a buzzing community centre with a wide range of activities taking place on a daily basis.

And now, thanks to new projects soon to start at The Hive, more volunteers are needed.

Lucy Day, Hive Centre Manager, said: "We couldn't do what we do without our wonderful volunteers. From picking up the 'phone to welcoming visitors as they enter the building, our volunteers go above and beyond!

This new year we're launching a range of new initiatives that we need volunteers to help manage. If you'd like to help, please pop along to our Volunteer Drop-In Morning or contact us directly at the Hive."

Projects soon to start at The Hive are:

The Community Fridge – providing free produce to those in need

Lucy is also looking for new volunteers to help at Reception and join the Maintenance Team.

The Volunteer Drop-In Morning will be held on Saturday 29th January, 10am – 12 noon at The Hive Community Centre.

The Hive Community Centre is home to the village post office, Swallow Café, and the community library.

The Centre (located next to Peasedown St John Primary School on Bath Road, BA2 8DH) has rooms available for hire including three meeting rooms, a large art room, a sports hall large enough for badminton, and an outside sport's court. It is an ideal venue for children's parties.
