Annual General Meeting
We may be called “Andover Mind”, but we actually provide services right across Hampshire, supporting people with mental ill health as well as adult carers, who care for an adult, and people living with dementia and mild cognitive impairment.
One in four of us will experience mental health problems at some time and it’s estimated there are around 13 million unpaid carers in the UK and more than 850,000 people living with dementia. These are tough things to face alone so you’ll want experienced and compassionate people in your corner. That’s where we come in…

Since the start of the pandemic we have identified the need to be creative with delivering our services and have successfully delivered virtual one-to-one’s and group sessions when face-to-face wasn’t possible. This highlighted the need to be virtually accessible going forward and inspired the decision to launch our new webchat service!
The new online chat service makes accessing support and information faster and provides another way to get in touch without the need to call. It also makes communication easier for those who do not speak English as their first language as a result of the translation functions.
The chat is open on weekdays between 9:30am and 4:30pm where we have a dedicated team waiting to offer advice, support and information for all of our services.
To access the chat, click the small pop-up in the bottom left of the screen.
