A major milestone has been reached for OneHive and the future of youth services in Camden.

Through the Camden Community Wealth Fund, OneHive at a Time CIC has been awarded £112,000 from the £2 million Youth Fund, marking the first official investment from the programme.

This investment is more than funding - it’s a signal of a new approach to supporting youth organisations: one that prioritises infrastructure, efficiency, and long-term impact over short-term grants.

A New Model for Supporting Youth Organisations

The Camden Community Wealth Fund was designed to back organisations that create meaningful opportunities for young people, from employment and skills development to mental health and inclusion initiatives.

OneHive was selected as the first investment because of its ability to:

• Reduce administrative burden for youth organisations

• Improve safeguarding, reporting, and impact tracking

• Connect young people to mentoring, skills, and opportunities

• Enable organisations to scale without increasing overhead

Through this partnership, 10 Camden-based youth organisations will be onboarded onto the OneHive platform, helping them operate more efficiently and reach more young people.

From Tools to Infrastructure: Why This Matters

Many youth organisations face the same challenge:
They are rich in purpose but stretched in capacity.

Disconnected systems, manual processes, and limited reporting tools often mean:

• Time is spent on admin instead of delivery

• Impact is difficult to measure and communicate

• Funding is harder to secure and sustain

OneHive addresses this by providing a digital backbone - not just another tool, but a system that supports operations and enables delivery at scale.

How Camden Youth Organisations Can Offset the Cost

One of the most powerful aspects of this opportunity is that Camden-based organisations don’t need to fully self-fund digital transformation.

Through the Youth Fund investment:

1. Subsidised Access to OneHive

Organisations selected as part of the programme will receive funded or heavily subsidised onboarding onto the OneHive platform.

2. Reduced Operational Costs

By streamlining admin, reporting, and communication, organisations can:

• Save staff time

• Reduce reliance on multiple paid tools

• Lower long-term operational expenses

3. Stronger Funding Position

With better data and clearer impact tracking, organisations are better positioned to:

• Secure future grants and investment

• Demonstrate measurable outcomes

• Meet funder reporting requirements

4. Scale Without Increasing Overheads

Instead of hiring additional admin staff, organisations can grow their reach while keeping costs stable.

This funding can be used to offset the cost of adopting OneHive, making it even more accessible for organisations ready to modernise their operations and scale their impact.

Unlocking Impact at Scale

This investment is expected to support thousands of young people across Camden, improving access to opportunities and strengthening the organisations that serve them.

It also reflects a broader shift in the sector:
Moving from funding programmes alone to funding the systems that make those programmes work.

A Call to Camden Youth Organisations

If you are a Camden-based organisation supporting young people - whether through mentoring, education, wellbeing, or skills development - this is a unique opportunity to:

• Access funded digital infrastructure

• Strengthen your delivery and reporting

• Scale your impact sustainably

Building the Future, One Hive at a Time

This partnership represents more than a funding announcement - it’s the beginning of a new ecosystem where technology, community, and investment work together to unlock potential.

Because when organisations are empowered with the right systems,
they can focus on what matters most:
