Army HIVE Christmas and New Year Closures

The majority of Army HIVEs will be closed after duties on Fri 19 Dec 25 and will reopen on Mon 5 Jan 26. There may be localised variations to these dates for individual HIVEs.

Army HIVE HQ is also closed during the festive fortnight, so any enquiries submitted via the ‘If you need further information’ MS Forms function on our UK, Cyprus or Overseas blogs will be answered when we return in the New Year.

We will periodically cover private messages on our Army HIVE Facebook platform (and X/Instagram where possible) whilst we are closed. However, this will not be 24/7 and should not be relied upon for anything that requires an urgent response.

To support our customers with more immediate requirements however, the Army HIVE HQ email will provide a comprehensive out of office autoreply, detailing points of contact that are either 24/7, emergency providers, or open over the festive leave fortnight. To receive this autoreply, please email:
RC-Pers-HIVEComms-0Mailbox@mod.gov.uk

Individual HIVEs will also provide localised contact details for Christmas and New Year cover wherever possible in their automated replies. Therefore, if you email your closest HIVE, which you can find on HIVE’s page on the Army website, their autoreply may be of additional assistance.

Army HIVE wishes all of its Service community customers, and our internal and external stakeholders, a very happy Christmas and New Year. We look forward to continuing our support and engagement in 2026.

Episkopi: Home Start Volunteering

We Need You! Become a Mini-Explorers Volunteer 

Our beloved Mini-Explorers group is looking for a new volunteer to help keep the adventure going! 

If you have a little one who’s walking and a couple of spare hours each week, this could be the perfect opportunity. It's a win-win — your child gets to play and explore, and you get to make new friends whilst giving something back to the community.

No professional training needed — you don’t need to be Forest School trained. Home-Start staff will take care of all the planning. We’re just looking for someone who enjoys the outdoors and is happy to show up, join in, and bring the fun!

Interested or want to know more?
Email us: homestartwsba@yahoo.com
Give them a call: +357 2596 3748
Or drop them a message on Facebook

Let’s keep this amazing group going — together!
