At Andover Mind, creating a welcoming environment is imperative to making anyone who visits us feel safe and supported. This year, we were fortunate to partner with an incredible team of volunteers from Lilly. They arrived for a day of painting our wellbeing centres, in both Aldershot and Basingstoke. Their enthusiasm and dedication have enhanced the areas where the people who use our services come for support, workshops and group activities.

Every year, Lilly employees volunteer in local communities around the world through their Global Day of Service. They partner with local organisations to advance their efforts to promote “healthy lives, healthy minds and healthy communities”. 

Lilly volunteers worked tirelessly to brighten up the rooms that are essential to our services. Using our brand colours. Mind blue on the walls and sprucing up the radiators with clean white paint, creating a peaceful space for anyone who walks through our doors.

The Global Day of Service focuses on advancing health, education and community support, which aligns perfectly with our mission at Andover Mind. The freshly decorated rooms will now serve as comforting spaces for our services, all thanks to Lillys.

We’re so thankful to the Lilly volunteers for their time and effort in redecorating our Aldershot and Basingstoke wellbeing centres. Their contribution will have a lasting impact on the people we support, every day.
