On 5 December, the London Eye was illuminated the colours of the Evelina London logo, blue, green, yellow, orange and pink, by children whose lives have been transformed with care from the hospital.
Lambeth Together partners across health and care services, hosted the Takeover Challenge on 22 November. The day saw local pupils shadow mentors in their jobs for the day. The day, for Year 10s, also featured an afternoon debate focused on climate change and the environment where the young people expressed their views on the action they want to be taken.
A key part of Lambeth Together is the Children and Young People Alliance. One of the programmes here is Lambeth Made, aimed at making Lambeth one of the best places to grow up, which has recently been tackling the issue of serious youth violence.
