“Some of the current Board members who have been instrumental in setting up and managing the Hive Community Hub are now about to retire. We are very grateful to them for their tremendous work over the years and wish them well in their retirement

We are now on the lookout for enthusiastic, helpful, knowledgeable volunteers who can join our Board of Trustees to help move the charity forward and continue its journey in providing a thriving community hub for the local area.

We hope that by recruiting new members to enrich the Board will mean that the vision can continue. “

The charity’s main objective is to support those who support others, so if you think you might be interested in becoming an important part of the Hive jigsaw and helping to shape the future of Hive by becoming a trustee, please contact Shirley Moore @sudburyhive@outlook.com.

Writing from the Rectory

Bless you all and enjoy the summer break, Rev’d Andrew
