The Living Well Network Alliance is pleased to publish its latest progress report. Looking back over 2023-24, it showcases the collaborative efforts of partners across public sector, NHS, and charity sector to improve mental health services and outcomes for people in Lambeth.
More than 400 residents from across the borough attended the Age Well Festival at the Oval cricket ground on Saturday 5 October 2024, hosted by Lambeth Council’s Age Friendly team.
A key priority for Lambeth Together is to improve health and care to our older residents.
Lambeth and Southwark have a thriving LGBTQ+ community. But many people who identify as LGBTQIA+ report feeling isolated, misunderstood, and unsupported, leading to increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression.
A local mental health charity has recognised this urgent need and has taken urgent action by successfully securing funding for a new wellbeing group: Queer Minds.
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.
