Take a Virtual Tour“I remember staff coming in to school to talk about The Hive, it looked fun and would get me out of the house. I was nervous when I first started as it is a huge place, there were new people, and I had to get to know the staff.
I have come a long way and the staff have seen me grow and become more confident.
At first, I didn’t really talk to anyone, now I have made friends and talk to more staff. Coming to The Hive has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I now regularly reach the top of theclimbing wall, attend a gym, and participate in external men’s mental health group walks thanks to a project they did at The Hive called Raw n Real.
When at The Hive I do basketball, climbing, archery, and I play pool. The staff and my mentor have helped me and gave me someone to talk to. They have been a good support network and I have had good conversations with them.
If I hadn’t come to The Hive I wouldn’t be into fitness. I have done a 5k and 10k run. I have completed two wellbeing projects I am more aware of myself and know when I need to speak to someone.”
