The Access Wellbeing hub has assisted more than 600 individuals with 2,260 visits since opening in September 2024.
The hub offers free mental health and wellbeing support without the need for an appointment.
MP Tom Hayes, who inaugurated the hub last year, returned on September 15 to celebrate its first anniversary.
Mr Hayes said: “It’s been a privilege to return to the Boscombe hub a year after it opened.

“The work the Access Wellbeing team is doing is amazing, and I’m looking forward to them supporting many more people in the coming years.”
The Boscombe hub is one of 30 similar services in Dorset, a joint initiative by the voluntary sector and the NHS.
The East Dorset services have expanded to include seven additional drop-in spaces around Bournemouth, Christchurch, Wimborne and Ferndown.
Joshua Hevicon, Service Development Lead for Access Wellbeing East Dorset, said: “I’m so proud of our team, who have given people a safe space to be heard when they need it most.”
The hubs are open to anyone aged 18 or over in Dorset.
They are staffed by coordinators who provide support for those facing difficulties.
