Creating a new community hub for Wyesham
We’re a volunteer group of committed Wyesham locals, looking to create a vibrant, inclusive community space.
The Hive will be the bustling heart of the village, designed to bring people together, support our community and provide a safe space for all.
We’d love you to join our journey.

Our Vision
A community space that offers something for everyone in Wyesham and the local area.
Our aim is to create a modern, environmentally-friendly building with a large, light-filled ground floor. This flexible space has countless possibilities. Maybe as a:
-
Community Café - serving fresh and affordable food and drinks
-
Education space - including cooking and life skills lessons
-
Youth club - as there are presently no facilities
-
Craft workshops – lantern making, kids' craft workshops
-
Exercise space - Yoga, Pilates, dance and more.
The chosen location is the site of the former Girl’s Brigade Hut - behind the local Morrisons, next to Kymin View school. A central location that is tucked away from the main road through the village.
How we're going to get there
2
Buy the plot
Once the funding is in place, the plot of land behind Morrisons and beside Kymin View School will be purchased on behalf of everyone in Wyesham
3
Level the land
Unfortunately, the old Girl's Brigade Hut is beyond repair. The first task will be to demolish the building and clear the land
4
Open for public use
Once the land is levelled, the reclaimed space will be open to enjoy. A new place for a sunny day, or maybe somewhere to find a drink at a pop-up cafe.
5
Construction begins
Once the building designs are finalised and all the funding is in place, construction of The Hive can begin!
