Andover & District Mencap is a charitable company and this body corporate holds the assets on behalf of its members. The members elect its trustees who, on their behalf, use volunteers and employees to deliver benefits in accordance with its Articles and Memorandum. In other words, its members are the “owners” of the charity (who each have to fork out £1 if it fails!) and all others are enablers, tasked to deliver benefit to beneficiaries.
We offer a range of services. These are:

* Advice to help you

* Respite Care using our own house - Stephen's Ark

* Support for living at home and in the community

* Help with Self Directed Support

* Work opportunities
