Our Registered Manager, Deputy
Manager and Support Managers work hard to develop bespoke support packages to
every person that we support. In January 2020 Andover and District Mencap
restructured the organisation. As part of the restructure, the Care and Support
Service welcomed a permanent Deputy Manager to the team in order to support the
Registered Manager with managing the service.
In 2018/19 we delivered 97,129
hours to 149 people throughout 2018/19. We take a holistic approach to our
services, centred around physical, emotional and social support needs. Through
the support we provide, we help people with: shopping, accessing the community,
personal care, employment support, maintaining friendships/relationships,
medication administration, holidays, tenancy support and staying safe/healthy.
We have robust relationships with
external agencies and families including: Hampshire County Council, GP
Surgeries, community nurses and supported employment programs that all play
active parts in the lives of the people we support. We work with other agencies
to ensure our services exceed the required regulatory standards and
safeguarding needs of children, young people and adults.
Our team of caring and qualified
support workers offer support to adults, children and young people that access
our services all year round. We are fully committed to safeguarding the people
we support. Our commitment extends to ensuring all support workers are Level 3
Safeguarding trained and have 3 Safeguarding Leads within the organisation.
We pride ourselves on delivering excellent care and exciting activities ensuring that we completely fulfil the needs of the individuals we engage with.
In September 2019 we were inspected by the Care Quality Commission. They rate the Care and Support Service as Good across the board. You can can access our report here.
Andover and District Mencap run a
variety of fun and engaging clubs/activities for adults with learning
disabilities. People with disabilities are often unable to access mainstream
clubs and activities without paying for additional support. These clubs offer
the people we support a chance to socialise with their friends, relax and learn
new skills. We run a Sports Club, Gateway Club, Computer Club, Dance Club, Club
7 (Social Club), Art Club, Drama Club, Scrap-booking Club and Outreach Activity Service.
For more information on each club
visit our Adults Clubs and Activities page.
Andover and District Mencap run a
variety of fun and engaging clubs/activities for children with learning
disabilities. Children with learning disabilities, challenging behaviour and mental
health issues often struggle to participate in mainstream clubs and activities
without additional support. Our Short Breaks Service offer children and young
people a chance to play, socialise with friends and learn new skills through
our: Holiday Playscheme, Saturday Playscheme and Youth Group.
