Acting for the greater good: prioritising the planet, inclusivity and wellbeing.
Our Changemakers in Residence are trail blazing local companies who are using creative action to make a difference in our communities.
They are working alongside us because of a shared purpose and desire to have a positive impact on local people and places, and we believe that by working together we can achieve even more, working together to enrich and improve people’s lives and to create a greener, brighter future.

Wild Hive Collective CIC is a growing network of gardeners, educators, ecologists and environmentalists in the Eastleigh borough and surrounding areas, wanting to connect our local community to create more edible and wild landscapes for brighter futures.
The company initially formed as an offshoot of Highbridge Community Farm in Eastleigh and are now working with various school, outdoor learning, and community growing sites to bring more sustainable growing and nature-connectedness into our local neighbourhoods, through hands-on, fun and inspiring nature-connected workshop and activities.
Wild Hive are looking at ways to draw people together and plot more accessible and sustainable local growing spaces. By sharing their visions and pooling local know-how, the company are discovering ways to collectively live more lightly within our local neighbourhoods.
