Thrive at The Hive

What you need to know

Thrive at the Hive launched in 2019. As a team we wanted to focus on reducing landfill of homeware and clothes. Thrive at the Hive is a space to access essential items.

We stock:

• clothing from new-born to seniors
• kitchen and homeware items
• shoes for all sizes
• toys
• children's books and;
• some essential larger items such as buggies

Everything is donated to us by the community. We ensure the quality and cleanliness is of a high standard.

Everything is available on a pay-as-you-feel basis. This means you can give as much or as little as you like for your items. All money donations go back into our community projects.

Opening times

You can visit us on a drop in basis at Thrive on:

• Monday - Thursday: 9am - 4pm
• Friday: 9am - 3.30pm
