JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

We want to support the community of Nairnshire to explore, identify and secure the funds to own a Green Hive Community Hub on the High Street. This community space will be fundamental in regenerating the town and in improving our environment as we all look to play our part as in creating a happier future, which has sustainability at its heart.

A high street hub has been a vision for Green Hive for some time, but we are keen to now make progress and gather further insights into what we specifically require in a High Street Hub and what it needs to offer for our charity and the community of Nairnshire.

Please help us by spending a few minutes telling us how important each of the following requirements is to you personally. Following the initial responses, we have added a new question (9th September) to the start of the survey - thanks for helping us.

From many of the initial responses to the survey, we have learnt that the hub needs to feel safe, inclusive, accessible and engaging. Critically it needs to offer products and activities which draw a wide range of people into the hub. Please detail below the sorts of products or activities you feel would attract people from across our community to come into the hub. *
