Annual General Meeting and Annual Members’ Meeting 2026
Our Annual Members’ Meeting (AMM) is an opportunity for Dorset residents to look back on our work in the previous year and look ahead at our plans for the future.

Open to any member of the public, the AMM includes reports from our Chief Executive, Chair and Council of Governors as well as the presentation of our annual accounts by the Chief Finance Officer. You can also take part in an interactive poll and ask questions about our services.
Come along to our AMM to learn more about our work and future plans.
