Help HCC turn the Hertfordshire Directory into the go-to-place to find groups, services and providers that can support residents to live life to the full.
The Hertfordshire Directory is a key online tool to make it easier for people to find the help they need as soon as they need it, bringing together services, groups, and providers across the county that offer support and advice in a range of areas.
HCC need your help to make sure that it’s up to date and is packed full of listings so please:
- check that any of your services are listed on the Hertfordshire Directory and that the information is up to date.
- ask providers, partners and voluntary sector organisations you work with to add their details to the directory and check their information is up to date.
Who can use the Hertfordshire Directory
Anyone can use it and HCC are keen for residents to be able to use the Directory to find services, group and providers independently.
If people don’t know where to go or how find what they’re looking for, then HertsHelp is there to support people too – www.hertshelp.net
Professionals are able to search the Directory to find suitable services for people they support. They can also refer people to those services using the referral function.
How to add a FREE listing
There’s already a wide range of services and providers listed in the Directory, from day centres and dance groups to counselling and community activities, but there is space for plenty more!.
If you know of a service that could improve people’s lives and is not listed on the Hertfordshire Directory, then contact Anne Ardley, Directory Project Officer.
Anne is leading on work to review the current directory with a focus on getting more services to add their service.
Providers, services and groups can request a login to create a listing, including key information such as who they support, when and where they work and costs, if applicable.
HCC have produced a few short videos that can support providers and services to do this:
