How Are You East Cambs – If you lead an activity, get it listed for free on this website

How Are You East Cambs (HAY) is a new website which aims to list everything in East Cambridgeshire that promotes wellbeing. From activities and groups to yoga, singing, sports clubs, arts groups, and more. You can even find somewhere to talk, find a friendly face or get a cup of tea.

If you run or are part of an activity in East Cambs that you would like featured on this site, please fill in this form.  It is free to list and will take about 20 minutes – time well spent to create a one-stop-shop for local community activity.  We hope that this will be the go to place to find out about what’s going on in your area.
