SPARK collaborates with NHS and the charity sector to ensure the support we offer can be accessed free at the point of use.
To this end, we have partnered with:
Ware and Rurals Primary Care Network
Hertford and Rurals Primary Care Network
Hertfordshire Mind Network
From 1 October 2025, Ware and Rurals Primary Care Network is withdrawing its support for 1:1 sessions. If this affects you, you will still be able to access support through the Herts Haven Café.
As part of SPARK's collaboration with the PCNs and Hertfordshire Mind Network, we are offering:
Up to six sessions either virtually via Zoom or face-to-face, that might incorporate Care Navigation, Health and Wellbeing Coaching, Social Prescribing or other modalities;
Availability of after-school appointments to ensure that our service is accessible;
A weekly drop-in service for 10-18 year olds.
All without a waiting list! Our partnership is about our values of providing effective support, fast. We were also excited to be a part of a progressive provider collaborative that would transform access to mental health and wellbeing support for children, young people and families in Ware and the surrounding areas.
Hailey View Surgery is a part of Hoddesdon and Broxbourne Primary Care Network, not Hertford and Rurals Primary Care Network. H&B PCN are not one of our partners at this time.
If you are seeking a referral through one of the GP practices above: Simply ask for a referral to SPARK following an appointment with your GP or another member of the practice team. Failing that, fill in one of the forms below:
As part of our partnership with Hertfordshire Mind Network, we are able to offer a drop-in mental health service which is available regardless of which GP surgery they are registered with. The only criteria is:
They need to be no younger than 10 and no older than 18; and
They need to be resident within the county of Hertfordshire.
That's it! No referral, no appointment needed. The service operates on Wednesdays from 3:30PM until 6:30PM with the last arrival being at 6PM. The address is below:
