Andover Mind announced as Charity of the Year

Bluebird Care Andover & Stockbridge will raise vital funds for mental health charity Andover Mind after naming them as charity of the year

We are delighted to announce that Andover Mind will be our charity of the year as we strive to promote good mental health in the local area.

As part of this, we will attend a variety of community fetes, hold raffles and special events for our customers, and take part in the charity’s official fundraising events. Andover Mind will also provide training and best practice so the Bluebird Care team can offer further support to any of our customers who suffer from mental health issues.

Mental health illness currently affects 1 in 4 people in the UK*. Bluebird Care therefore want to support our local community by working in partnership with Solent Mind to raise awareness of mental health and the local services that are available from the charity. 

Norman Murphy, Managing Director of Bluebird Care Andover & Stockbridge, said: “There are a wide variety of factors that can have huge impacts on people’s mental health, and Bluebird Care are determined to make a positive difference. Our fundraising for Mind will have an extremely positive effect on people’s lives, and we can’t wait to get started.”

Lisa Langman, Head of Business Development at Andover Mind, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Bluebird Care for naming Andover Mind as their charity of the year. The funds they raise will support the continued delivery of our free-to-access wellbeing services, and we are thankful to Bluebird Care for their support in increasing awareness of these.”
