We are a charity that provides specialist mental healthcare for people
with complex mental health needs. Our purpose is hope.

The people who use our services come from different backgrounds and places, and have various mental and physical health needs. Some individuals need short–term, intensive support following a mental health crisis or breakdown, and some people stay with us for longer periods; for these individuals we can provide not just medical interventions, but therapy and
support to help them get their lives back on track. Some patients come to St Andrew’s towards the end of their life, and our expert staff care for them in as comfortable an environment as possible.

We provide care across a number of services, including Men’s and Women’s mental health, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), Neuropsychiatry, Autism spectrum disorder and learning disabilities. Our headquarters and largest hospital site is in Northampton, but we also have hospitals in Birmingham and Essex, and two residential homes - Winslow and Broom Cottage in Derbyshire - which provide specialist locally-focused mental healthcare.

Across our three hospitals we provide treatment and care for around 590 inpatients who face challenges of mental illnesses, developmental disorders, brain injuries and neurological conditions. We also offer treatment and support for individuals within community settings and as outpatients, to different groups including former members of the Armed Forces and people within the Criminal Justice System. Over the past 12 months we supported 2,000 community patients via our various outpatient activities. We also work with other services to support individuals as they leave hospital care.
