PATRONS VISIT THE HIVE YOUTH ZONE Prior to the grand opening, some of Wirral Youth Zone’s capital and revenue supporters were treated to a unique tour of the £6m facility by young people who are set to step foot in it. Capital supporters including Bibby Line, The Johnson Foundation, UBS, Wirral Council and St James’ Place Foundation joined many of The Hive’s 20 Founder Patron’s for a night to remember at The Hive. Chairman John Syvret CBE, whose business, Cammell Laird, also support the project as a Founder Patron was one of many who received a plaque in honour of their support from young people. The Hive has cost £6m to build and will cost £1million per year to run and this will be funded through a combination of public sector and private sector funding.
