The initiative, bringing services out of GP surgeries and into a community setting, is a partnership with Meridian Primary Care Network (PCN) and is the first of its kind in South Cambridgeshire.

Services include help with anxiety, coping with the pressures of being a carer, giving up smoking, healthier eating and the menopause.

Meridian will now offer their services at The Hub with a walk-in advice/information session every Monday between 10am and 11.30am.
