Hunts.Mind is a local voluntary organisation affiliated to National Mind, run by a team of staff team in conjunction with volunteers and service users.

They currently provide:
Day-time Drop-in Centres in Huntingdon and Ramsey, as well as Evening Clubs in Huntingdon, St Ives and St. Neots.

An Education Programme known as ‘Choices’ is one of several projects run in conjunction with Cambridgeshire Community Education.  These offer opportunities to access sessions on a range of creative arts subjects and also complementary therapies at venues around the district.  A rock group/music workshop and a basic computer skills course are also available.

Hunts.Mind’s aims are to raise the profile of mental health issues in the community and to combat prejudice and misinformation.  We also aim to empower current and past service users to become involved in the development of the organisation at every level.

Hunts.Mind supports and facilitates the Hunts User Forum, People of Potential.

A close working partnership with our local health providers also increases the opportunities for people to engage in sports and leisure activities using their local facilities.
