We are all so sad to hear the news about our friend and former CEO Stuart Barnes, the driving force behind the early days of The Hive Youth Zone. For those who had the privilege of working alongside him, we will remember not just his commitment, but the warmth and energy and passion for youth work that he brought to everything he did.
Stuart was instrumental in shaping the vision and foundation of our organisation. His passion, leadership, and unwavering belief in the potential of young people laid the groundwork for everything we’ve built since.
His legacy lives on through every young person who walks through our doors, every opportunity we help create, and every bit of support we provide.
We owe much to the work he led, and we will be finding a way to honour his memory appropriately in the coming weeks.
