Welcome! We are here for you
The Edward Hain Centre is St. Ives’ new community hub for health and wellbeing. Situated in the same building that housed the Edward Hain Memorial Hospital for 100 years, we serve the community of St. Ives and surrounding areas.
With a holistic approach, we believe that affordable and accessible health care is a necessity for everyone. We offer traditional medical and clinical services, as well as a wide choice of workshops, social groups and preventive care, to promote over-all health and wellbeing.

Volunteer
If you’d like more activity, connection and fun in your life, volunteering is a great way to meet new people and feel part of the community.
Volunteering also has proven health & wellbeing benefits of its own . . . So knowing that you’re making a difference can also make all the difference to you, too!
‘As well as being very satisfying work, volunteering has been great for my mental health. Every single person I have met at the EHC has been supportive . . . It’s wonderful being part of this team.’ ~ Shelley J.
To volunteer with us, email info@edwardhaincentre.org.uk (subject ‘Volunteering’) or call 01736 601233.
We look forward to hearing from you!
