Hi everyone, my name is Jenna, and I am one of the Directors of The Hive Kirkcaldy/Love and Harmony CIC. I absolutely love helping others and through being a Personal trainer, I get the opportunity to work on their physical and mental health. Having the opportunity to allow others to get fitter, stronger, gain confidence, become better versions of themselves and take a different look at life really is a wonderful feeling and I will continue to work with these individuals day in/day out. Alongside my dedicated colleagues, the other remarkable Directors at The Hive, we are devoted to ensuring that The Hive remains a safe and supportive environment for all. We will continue to collaborate and share our diverse experiences to make the world a better place.

My name is Lindsey Williamson, I have lived in Fife all my life and am passionate about making the local area a better place to live and including local people in this. I am a qualified therapist and director of the Hive. I have my early years qualification having worked in nursery settings for 3 years. I joined The Hive as a volunteer in the first week it opened as I wanted to support a family member who had recently come out as transgender. I initially worked in the café before moving into the office and undertaking a project called The Hive Happy Heads where we combined friendship and therapy together. I was asked to take over the Hive in early 2022 and formed Love and Harmony CIC, myself and director Jenna officially took over on April 1st, 2023, and have continued to work hard and support the local LGBTQIA+ community and the wider community. We are delighted to have recruited another 3 directors all with a variety of different skillsets to take The Hive forward. In January 2025 year we gained charitable status as The Hive Kirkcaldy. I am looking forward to continuing this journey and can’t wait to see what the future holds.
