Hive Collective

A Collective supporting others Success. Connecting like-minded freelancers & business owners in East

Our mission is to provide events and meetups that are mutually beneficial to all involved. We recognise that there are many psychological aspects to working for yourself that can seriously affect your levels of efficiency and progress. Lack of confidence, lack of motivation and the fear of failure often stop people performing at their absolute best. We would like to address these issues without judgement, and create a space of encouragement that leads to both personal and business development.

Why not, join us for a relaxed co-working day at Yonder Workspace?

This is a great opportunity to get work alongside other Hivers, enjoy a change of scenery and test out a new workspace.

Another Hive Connects. Another evening at Yonder Workspace.

There are plenty of reasons to know Yonder - the climbing, the classes, the workspace, the coffee and pastries - but it’s also been home to our Hive Connects for years.

This month’s no different. On the 26th of February we’re bringing together a local founder and a CEO to share how they’re building resilient businesses and staying steady as they grow.

There are so many brilliant businesses and people running them across Walthamstow and the rest of the borough.

Hive Connects is one of the few times we get to bring those people into the same room. Faces we already know, names we’ve seen online and people we haven’t met yet.

It’s a chance to hear honest stories, learn from each other and remind ourselves we’re not doing this on our own.

If you’re running a business locally, we’d love to welcome you on 26 February and hear from Alexa Sutheran from and JJ Khun from about how they’re getting through tougher seasons. The decisions they’re making, where they’ve found support and how they keep things moving when it all feels like a juggle.

There’ll also be plenty of time to chat and connect with other local creatives, freelancers and business owners who really get it.

Alexa brings a unique perspective to the charitable sector, having spent much of her previous career in the fashion industry.

Working in a fast-paced, creative and consumer-centric environment gave her a strong grounding in making clear decisions, managing complexity and putting systems in place to support growth, skills she now applies to championing social change.

After starting out as a volunteer at , she went on to support its growth from one care home per week in 2017 to nearly 70 homes weekly, and is now CEO of the award-winning charity.

At Hive Connects, Alexa will be sharing how clarity, structure and decision-making can help work grow without becoming overwhelming.

Join us on Thursday, 26th Feb at Yonder.

Most small businesses don’t struggle because their business idea isn’t working, they struggle because the pressure is constant and the support is thin.

At our February Hive Connects, we’re bringing together three local founders/CEOs for an open conversation about keeping things going through tougher seasons - from managing uncertainty and avoiding burnout, to staying motivated when progress feels slow and building the right connections.

It’s an evening for listening, sharing and being in a room with people who understand the reality of running something yourself.

📅 Thursday, 26th Feb
🕖 7–9.30pm

We’re making a few changes at Hive and we’d also love to hear directly from you about what would be most useful for you this year.

We’ve put together a quick survey to help shape what we run this year - events, topics and who we bring into the room.

It’s 10 questions. Takes about 2 minutes. And yes, there’s a little thank you at the end.

A way to mark the end of Dry January, everyone who takes part will be entered into a draw on the 31st January to win a crate of larger from Signature Brew plus a bottle of Crémant.
