Huntingdonshire Older People’s Mental Health Primary Care Service

This catalogue of day services, activities and opportunities for older people in the St. Ives and Huntingdonshire locality is designed to offer an insight into the possibilities available to them in their area. Although it was up to date on its initial publication, there is no guarantee that these services will remain in place on a long term basis. Some services have been running for many years and will continue to do so but the Foundation Trust does not guarantee that this catalogue will remain accurate although endeavours will be made to revise the edition on a regular basis. If individuals become aware of new services or changes to services described in this catalogue, the Trust would be grateful if service users could inform us, please email: [email protected] . It should be noted that services within this publication generally have a good reputation for the quality of their service provision but the Trust does not recommend any service or accept responsibility for difficulties found within these services.
