Our SEND Sessions

We offer SEND Sessions, so if you have additional needs, a learning difficulty or a visible or hidden disability, we understand that you may thrive in a setting that provides more support. We have specialist sessions in different parts of the county just for you.

These sessions have cost £1 to attend, and no need to book, However, To become a member and attend these sessions do contact us at The Hive to arrange a meeting with one of our team.

You'll always find me smiling and laughing. Playing DnD, loving all the sports and cooking up lovely food. Occasionally singing, sometimes dancing, lets face it. Having all the fun!
Steve (he/him)

I have worked with the youth service since 2012 starting as an Adult Volunteer. I have had the opportunity to work in many of our youth centres during that time and am now based at The Hive in Exmouth and oversee our youth work delivery in Ottery and Exmouth. A fun fact of mine is that I was one of the youngest people at the time (10) to get a black belt in karate.
