We were set up to transform the former Edward Hain hospital, in St Ives, Cornwall, into a community centre for health and wellbeing. The hospital was founded in 1920, with funds from the Cornish Hain Steamship Company.

Now it brings together much needed health and wellbeing services, along with social, community and welfare support, all under one roof.
