I'm doing a sky dive on 14.10.17 to raise money for the continued good work of The Hive Wirral Youth Zone, which supports young people in the Wirral. Please see their website for further details www.thehiveyouthzone.org

The Hive does not have their own just giving page so I have had to create my own page instead.

About my sky dive:

As some of you may know I won my sky dive in a raffle from our neighbours Vectos www.Vectos.co.uk . Vectos are kindly matching every pound donated up to £500 so hopefully I will be able to double my target.

About the Hive:

Wirral Youth Zone, named by young people as ‘The Hive’, is a purpose-built facility for the city’s young people aged 8 – 19, and up to 25 for those with disabilities.

The Youth Zone is located next to the new fire station on Bright St, in the centre of Birkenhead and the opened on 8th April 2017.

This infrastructure of facilities is based upon our 21st Century Youth Facility Model and young people from across Wirral have access to fantastic facilities for a cost of £5 for an annual membership and 50p per visit. The Youth Zone provides a safe environment where young people can come and enjoy themselves and enables young people to raise their aspirations and confidence to create a happier and healthier generation.

Check out the full range of activities on offer at The Hive from sports and arts, to music, drama and employability workshops.
