Since 1971 we've been supporting people from all over the North Hertfordshire area including Hitchin, Stevenage, Letchworth, Baldock and the surrounding towns and villages.
Last year alone we were here for:
- 28,000 phone calls
- 4,300 text messages
- 40 visitors needing face to face support
You will also find our friendly volunteers out and about in the North Hertfordshire area raising awareness and providing support to the community. We can be spotted at local train stations as part of our partnership with Network Rail, at Lister Hospital, or giving talks at schools and community centres. Find out about volunteering with us, fundraising with us, read more about our outreach work, or visit our events page to find out what we will be up to in the coming months.
