LAMH have been guiding and supporting people through their mental health journey since 1983.
We are committed to improving our communities mental health, striving to create and support a community where everyone is included, and their mental health experience valued.

Fast forward a few years and with support from our staff and voluntary work he is now our Assistant Manager in our Hamilton Charity Shop! ‘The charity shop is… a welcoming and acceptant place to be… giving you social interaction and opportunities to develop your skills in a supporting environment.’

It provides an essential service to the community in surrounding areas, while raising funds for LAMH.
Other volunteering opportunities in the organisation exist in relation to our Infoline & within our Wishaw Wellbeing Centre.
Our volunteers have active, fulfilled days.
