The HIVE Information Centres

The HIVE Organisation is a Tri-Service network available to all members of the Service community, serving both married and single, together with their families and dependants, as well as civilians employed by the Services.

All HIVE staff are professionally trained to fulfill their roles as HIVE Information Officers. We are not trained in welfare counselling, but are able to offer initial support to individuals and can advise referral to those professional agencies best suited to the individuals circumstances.

All HIVE staff are bound to a code of confidentiality.
