Welcome! We are here for you
The Edward Hain Centre is St Ives’ growing community hub for health and wellbeing. In the same building that housed the Edward Hain Memorial Hospital for 100 years, we continue to serve the community of St Ives and surrounding areas.
We offer a range of free services to promote over-all health and wellbeing. They include medical and clinical sessions, preventive care courses, and social groups.
We are also the home of St Ives Food Bank. Several independent practitioners are based here at the Centre, too.
Find out all about it all on the website. Happy exploring!

Volunteer
If you’d like more activity, connection and fun in your life, volunteering is a great way to meet new people and become part of a genuine community effort.
Volunteering also brings proven benefits to health & wellbeing. 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!
Support the Centre
Since we began our campaign to save the Edward Hain building and create the Centre, our community's support has been amazing. We wouldn't be here without your generosity.
Now, with renovations to do, upgrades to make, and staff to pay, our fundraising continues. Every bit makes a difference! To make a donation of any amount, please click below.
