Young People's Mental Health Forum
On 26th March professionals from various local organisations met to share experiences, learning and to collaboratively tackle challenges with the shared goal of improving mental health provision for young people across Andover.
All organisations participated in discussions around some topics that they are having shared challenges with currently. These topics included the impact of social media, making services inclusive, out of school provision, sharing resources and parental engagement.


10th March Stakeholder Meeting
On March 10th we hosted our latest Stakeholder Meeting.
We had a great session at Andover Community Church, where we discussed actions for the new few months of the Year of the Volunteer Campaign.
Stakeholders also had the chance to view and discuss design proposals for the redevelopment of Western Avenue.
It was great to see you all there and the date for our next session in June/July will be released soon!

Year of the Volunteer
The Vision has officially launched its Year of the Volunteer campaign!
You may recall that during our last 2024 stakeholder meeting, we discussed the campaign's goals, and some of you kindly volunteered to help design and run it.
The campaign is being shaped by our stakeholders, and we invite everyone interested to get involved by emailing us at andovervision@testvalley.gov.uk.

AV Business Breakfast
On January 29th, we held our first AV Business Breakfast at Andover College, which had a fantastic turnout despite the early start!
This group will bring a fresh perspective to the Vision, particularly around our business ambitions moving forward.
Thanks to Andover College for hosting us, and Rachel from Kyte Catering for the bacon rolls!
