Membership

At Mid and North Powys Mind, we ask that when you use our services that you become a ‘member’ by filling our one of our ‘About Me’ forms with your information. 

This simply means that you have a voice in the way that our services are run; there are many ways you can give us your opinions, including the two Members Days we usually hold each year, the Member’s Surveys we send out each year, the feedback boxes around the Wellbeing Centre or simply by talking to a member of staff. You also have the choice as to whether you would like to have voting rights at our Annual General Meeting.
