Membership

The Organisation is governed by a Board and supported by local Advisory Groups and consultation groups with service users/carers taking all places on the latter groups and service users at least 50% of places on the Board. We are committed to the meaningful participation of users in all aspects of service development and delivery.

 

"I'm on the board to make sure that service users are heard in all the plans for the organisation."

Our Organisation first achieved Investors in People status in 2001, and has retained this since endorsing our commitment to staff involvement and development.

Membership with LAMH is beneficial for so many reasons, it allows you to make a difference and positive impact in your community but also to "...be part of a group with like minded people who understand and can empathise."
