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.

Swiftathon - a fundraising event for Dorothy House Hospice


In Loving Memory of Joe Pickford - A Fundraising Event for Dorothy House Hospice

We’re coming together as a community to honour the life of Joe Pickford, a beloved member of Ayios Nikolaos, who sadly passed away following a brave battle with a brain tumour. Dorothy House Hospice provided Joe with exceptional care and compassion in his final days, and now it’s our turn to give back.

Joe was a cherished figure in the Early Years Nursery, adored by every child he worked with. Outside of work, he was a familiar face in the gym, often there by 0530, and above all, he was a massive Swiftie!

To celebrate Joe’s life and his love for Taylor Swift, we’re hosting a Taylor Swift-themed charity event to raise funds for Dorothy House Hospice.

Contact the Ay Nik HIVE for more details.
