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.

Wiltshire: Wiltshire Council Family Hub 'Family Navigator' drop-in time changes

Please click image to enlarge

Alongside their parenting programmes and one-to-one outreach support in the home, Wiltshire Council Family Hub also have a team of Family Navigators who are available in different locations at different times throughout the week so that you can drop in and get the help that you are looking for.

This could be:
  • Helping you find groups for you or your children in the community such as toddler groups, youth groups, adult learning opportunities and community events etc.
  • Linking you in with organisations who can help with things like debt advice, housing support, mental and emotional wellbeing, volunteering and health advice. If you’re not yet feeling too confident to ‘go it alone’ then our family navigators will help with that too.
  • Providing a listening ear when you don’t know where to go next and the things you are trying aren’t quite working.
  • Supporting you to complete applications for pre-school, school or colleges and any other paperwork related to family life, because some of it is more complicated that it needs to be!

You can also view the above calendar on the Wiltshire Council Family Hub website.

(Please note that occasionally dates and time can be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. Please check the Facebook page before travelling)
