The Hive Community Centre in Peasedown St John near Bath has received a funding boost thanks to a local councillor.

The centre, located on Bath Road, runs open-access youth work sessions three afternoons per week for children and young people, often in need of a ‘safe space’ to go to after school.
Village councillor Gavin Heathcote has allocated £500 from his Ward Councillor’s Empowerment Fund to contribute towards food and snacks for those who attend the sessions.
Gavin said: “The team at The Hive are doing a fantastic job in providing regular youth work sessions for the young people in the village.
“I know that the youngsters who attend The Hive on a regular basis really appreciate having somewhere warm and safe to go – especially in the colder months.
“I’ve allocated £500 from my fund this year to ensure The Hive has an adequate supply of food and snacks for each youth work session.
“It’s community facilities like The Hive that really do make a difference. Long may it continue to be a valuable resource for our village.”
