Over the weekend, we hosted a marquee at the Lambeth Country Show, alongside Active Lambeth, providing information on a range of health and care services for residents. The marquee drew in visitors keen to take advantage of free blood pressure checks and valuable advice from staff across the Borough’s health and care partnership.
Taking place from 10-16 June, Carers Week seeks to ‘put carers on the map’. Lambeth is home to over 18,000 unpaid carers, looking after friends and family members who wouldn’t be able to get by without their support.
Lambeth Council, NHS South East London and local partners including Carers Hub Lambeth, have committed to making visibility, recognition, identification and awareness of carers one of our seven priorities for supporting carers in the new Lambeth Carers Strategy.
