OUR COMMUNITY INITIATIVES

At Hive Cleaning, our commitment to environment goes beyond providing eco-friendly cleaning services — it’s woven into the fabric of everything we do. Our passion for sustainability has inspired us to create three unique volunteering initiatives focused around AIR (Bees), LAND (Hive Wood) and WATER (Canal Clean-Up).
These programs extend our core values and enable our customers, suppliers, and team members to actively engage in meaningful environmental projects.
Every activity is fully funded by Hive Cleaning and is operated on a not-for-profit basis.

BEEHIVES

Air

Our bees add to the biodiversity of London and supply us with delicious honey to share with our clients. Our bees are housed at Bee Urban in Kennington Park, a social enterprise that we love supporting.

We run monthly Beekeeping Experience Days, where we learn about bees, build beehives, harvest honey and more. They take place at our Kennington Park Apiary on the last Friday of each month from April through September from 9:00 am to 11:30 am.

HIVE WOOD

Land

We purchased a 7 Acre meadow in Devon in 2023, and began the process of planting trees and restoring the land back into traditional broadleaf woodland known as Hive Wood. This reforestation project embodies our commitment to environmental sustainability and community spirit.

Hive Wood is a living, breathing initiative to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, enhance the natural beauty of the area, boost biodiversity, and restore vital habitats.

CANAL CLEAN-UP

Water

London's waterways are more than just scenic routes—they're vital ecosystems that deserve our care.

During various afternoons in May to September, Hive Cleaning is proud to host a canal clean-up volunteering initiative that takes us on an inspiring journey from Paddington Basin to Camden Lock, all aboard eco-friendly electric Go Boats.

Our mission is to reclaim our canals and tow paths from the scourge of plastic and litter.
