Following the recent well-publicised local government cuts we have been forced to take our mobile equipment, information and advice service off the road. The service, known affectionately as 'Ivanhoe', visited town centres and supermarket car parks  throughout the county. HAD Chief Executive Annabelle Waterfield said: "It was a really tough decision to make, particularly as 'Ivanhoe' has been providing this vital service to the community for more than 12 years. However our ultimate goal is to keep the organisation in business and continue helping as many older and disabled people in Hertfordshire and beyond as possible."
