HIVE Portsmouth Hub

A Place For Portsmouth’s Voluntary Sector To Share, Collaborate And Grow.

About Us

We understand that community is just as important as productivity. Based in the heart of the city, HIVE Portsmouth Hub offers co-working, hot-desking, desk rental and charity incubation services.

It’s a space which gives local Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector groups and organisations the opportunity to share facilities, reduce costs and collaborate on projects.

The hub has been made possible by a generous donation from BAE Systems.

Testimonials
Charla Grant, The Grateful Arts Club
 
My experience with the team has been fantastic. Every step of the way I have felt like I’ve been part of a team. Setting up on your own is nerve wracking, but working with HIVE Portsmouth has meant that I haven’t felt alone.
Helen Barter, Stand Up Portsmouth
 
Signing up for the HIVE Portsmouth Hub has given me the ability to find some headspace when I need it and to have a dedicated desk for all of the paperwork. It’s much-needed and it’s helping our charity to really grow.
Cat Sidwell, HomeStart Portsmouth
 
The HIVE Portsmouth Hub is a great space from which to run Portsmouth Parent Voice. We have everything we need at our fingertips and having our own dedicated space within the Hub has meant that the space really feels like our own.
